{{+1}}Hackle – fabricate a hackle{{-1}}
{{start}}
From time to time you will want to tie a small fly but all the hackles and the recipe will say something like "Select a hackle that has barbules that are around the length of the shank of the hook. " and you don't have any hackles as small as that.
So you have two choices:
- Use a hackle that is too big for the fly.
- Create your own hackle.
or
and that is what I have done here,
The last time I came across this problem was when tying a TBH orange and partridge spider.
