Invite to the current installation of our series of videos called “ One-Minute Fly-Tying Tips and Methods” from Tim Flagler of Tightline Productions Each video domonstrates a single connecting ability, from one of the most fundamental to the advanced. Eventually, the series will work as a sort of encyclopedia of connecting abilities that will be an important resource for anybody who takes a seat at a vise to develop a fly.
The dishes for some popular dry-fly patterns, such as the traditional Adams, require both brown and grizzly hackle at the front. As Tim mentions, it’s just natural for a tier to question if they actually require both; it would definitely be much easier to cover simply a single plume, right? However Tim is a follower in the mixed-hackle technique, so in this video, he teaches you how to do it correctly.
