- We get a lot of questions from new fly tyers on what kind of hackle feathers are best for certain streamer patterns and styles. In this video, Kelly will walk you through a number of options and explain the differences between materials.
Thanks for a very helpful video. I'm one of those lucky people with a backyard flock of chickens and am constantly picking up hackle feathers. Of my five roosters, I get grizzly, badger, dunn, and white-ish. I never get beautiful high quality feathers to tie small dry flies, but i's a bonanza for me since I live in the deep south and tie predominately panfish flies. Thanks for giving a side-by-side comparison.
Gramma Rose! How are you? Nice to see your comments, it's been awhile. Take care. :o)
Great as always! Your knowledge is expansive and I always learn from you.
I'd love to see a in depth series on fly design and material selection. Natural vs synthetic, how they act in the water and when/how to choose one over the other. Really get into the minutia of it!
I’m pretty new to tying and this absolutely helped me understand much more about hackle. It can get confusing with all the different ones. Great side by side comparison. Thanks for this video! Good fishing to you all! 🎣
Great video as always kelly, thanks for taking the time to make these and shareing you knowledge with us mortals. Your awesome.
Awesome video as usual! The explanation really helps in understanding the components that go into a fly. Thanks!
I tied a brown and cream Version of your Peanut envy about 4 days ago. The first day using it I triggered a large brown who got airborne. The second day I fished another local creek. I casted the back of a pool for 5 minutes without a good angle then moved to the front to cast from a cascade leading into a pool. Theres also a small creek leading in, adjacent to the cascade. Anyhow, third cast in the seam between the cascade and the creek 30+ inch tiger musky gets airborne to hit it and I fight the fish for 6 minutes, he jumps 3 more times, was hooked perfectly on the front hook corner of the mouth and even wrapped the line on his body once or twice. Still landed him. Also captured it in 4k on my new Go pro which I got for this purpose! Kindy shotty angles through the fight but managed to get the hool up and one backflip on video but missed the other two jumps... But thanks a lot for the videos cause I love tying these big streamer patterns! The trout in my local systems are a little small for them but what I lack in numbers. I more than make up for in size. Can't wait to fish them in this spot when the trout move back in. Lately it's pike, tigers, walleye and a smallmouth. Early in the spring, at this spot, I moved what would have been a PB and likely the largest trout in the whole system. Estimated 21-23 incher.
What a great video. Cleared a handful of things up for me. Thanks guys.
Nice explanation of the differences in hackles :-)
As always, totally enjoyed and learned from your videos.
Oi! Please upload more content! You are amazing. So much detail and approachable material. Thanks for all of your content thus far but I sure could use some more.
Thanks Matthew! We will be up loading more soon, its hard to keep up during our busy season. Here in the next month we are going to try and start filming again!
I don't even tie flies. I just like these explanations.
Love that Nature's Spirit variegated stuff
I love the eyesight humor… I get it
Im new to Fly tying an im in Jr high school,Im still confused on which feathers for wet an dry flys.Could you give me a basic/ simple answer to get me started.Thank you for the videos you do.Im a new subscriber.Thank you Rocky .
Rocky, easiest answer for ya would be: Rooster Hackle for dries (saddle or cape), Hen hackle for wets. -Jeremy
Is there Schalpin (excuse spelling) in 10-14 size? Be a good wet fly hackle with the webbiness
so let me ask . is there like a Feather trade where some one goes to farms and ranches and collects Feather from birds and then sells them to the other businesses that then dye them and other stuff that goes into Fly Tying??? they got to come from somewhere Right ? same as the hair . got to be a Fur trade business that collects hair for the fly Tiers
Are full streamer capes = low grade capes originally meant for dries, or do they come from different breeds?
Are videos about to come back? I'm fiending something fierce...
Shot the first new one for the season 2 days ago... They are coming back shortly!
What vice is that?
