This step by step guide will teach you how to hackle a fly. I struggled with this technique when I started tying more than 20 years ago. This was mainly because of my lack of knowledge of material and the methods involved.
What is a Hackle?
A hackle is created by wrapping a feather around the hook shank or post, as with parachute flies.
The hackle serves one or more specific purposes on a fly. Whichever it is, it falls into one of the following three categories:
- Legs
- Floatation
- Movement
0:58 - Step 1 - Start the Fly Until the Hackle Needs to be Tied in
1:30 - Step 2 - Pull a Suitable Feather from the Skin
2:15 - Step 3 - Remove the Fibers at the Base
2:55 - Step 4 - Pull the Fibers Perpendicular
4:15 - Step 5 - Tie in the Feather
5:25 - Step 6 - Create the Body
7:30 - Step 7 - Attach a Hackle Plier
7:36 - Step 8 - Wrap the Hackle Forward
7:54 - Step 9 - Secure the Hackle
8:25 - Step 10 - Finish the Fly
