Tying the All Hackle Dry with Barry Ord Clarke 

Having tied flies for over half a century, I tend to think i've seen just about every technique imaginable and yet you continue to blow my mind with creative ways to apply fur and feathers to steel. Thanks you for continuously raising the bar and keeping our hobby fresh and stimulating.

Truly a work of art with the precision of a Swiss watchmaker.

Barry, I've watched a lot of your videos but just happened to run across this one. That is one very good looking and cool fly. The excitement in your voice was palpable with this new technique, a very fun and instructive session to watch. Thank you so much.

Something new I learn today , Thank you for sharing

Very interesting. Good luck!! Tight lines🐛🕷️🐜!!!!

That fly you tied is quite impressive. This fly gives any tier many options with regards to feathers and hackles one could use. It also looks as if it would sit in the water beautifully. Outstanding work!!! I actually thought Sean Connery was tying that fly. The sound of your voice is similar. Enjoyed this presentation !!! 🧐🌲👍

Whoo, what a beauty of a technique. The flaring (or flared) split parachute or flattening (flattened) split parachute (FSP) could sound clear. The fanning out (fanned out) split parachute could also be eloquent but longer. Anyway, this newborn is already famous if it floats as well as it looks nice. Thanks for your precious sharing.

What a beauty! I will have to borrow this great fly pattern you came up with!

An excellent tutorial, very innovative and thought provoking. Thank you.

Hey Barry, I think it could be called backstrap hackle mayfly. That is the name that came to mind when I saw the technique. Very ingenious way to tie a mayfly. Thanks for sharing. All the best, Sean

Very interesting pattern Barry.thanks for sharing.its a great looking pattern

That's The one Barry. Cheers Buddy The TEAL FLANK works a treat as well. Non of them are easy though. good luck & God Bless

Nice work. Time to head for the vise.

Complimenti per la tecnica e la pulizia di costruzione! 👏

Very interesting 🤔🤔fly!! Thanks. Tight lines🦗🪲🦟!!!!

Beautiful. Much thanks. You can teach anyone a thing or two.

danke für die tollen Vidios echt super

Brilliant pattern pass for a dragonfly will have a go tying it use it here in Tasmania

great looking fly! looks like a mosquito larvae so maybe you can call it the mirror mosquito. thnx for showing and sharing such a beauty 👍

very interesting pattern Barry think you got a winner of and idea there

That's absolutely bloody inspired. Phew! Any updates on its use, Barry?

well... it's all said in the comments. The big picture is all those coq hackle saved since the hackle gage, IMHO , is no more needed. Sure... take that long fiber and cut them to put it on your 16 size Bwo. Thank you, kind sir!!! My respect. This is klink hammer huge breakthrough. Name it 'German style long word' if you want, I'll remember it in your honor!

Will be trying a few of those. I got my hands on some of the Chevron coq de Leon. it is lovely. Certainly the best I've seen but not as stiff as the whiting farms.

great 👍👍👍

Impressive, creative new technique. I think it should have your name in it, to honor your legend. (its allowed to be proud) Names: Backwards Barry (Style) BBS. Dosen Twist (Barry/Technique). Barry The Headsplitter / Headsplitter Barry Technique. Hackle Barry Fin.

Barry the concept you have brought forward here, albeit three years ago, is very cool. I do not agree with a previous comment regarding durability and related value in tying certain patterns. Back in the 90's I developed a method of tying small irresistible flies. By irresistible I mean hard to fool trout went mad over it. I will not name it because I don't want to listen to arguments over who's great uncle tied the very same method. Nobody did but I digress. Looking at your build I do not see why it will not be possible to tie this in a more durable way to make it last longer. People are great armchair critics because they can be. Have you tried that fake hackle? Or any one of a number of different materials that might work? How did it fish for you? Has the adventure so escaped fly tying and fishing that nobody wants to learn new techniques any longer? Oh and totally irrelevant here, where do you purchase flat copper wire? I have the standard copper wire but flat is beyond me to find. Thanks Barry.

Hi Barry. Fascinating. Have you fished with it yet?

Interesting!

That's nice! I'll have to play around with it. Took me a while to see where you were going. Why not call it the bumbershoot emerger? Gives a nod to the parachute name, while indicating that it's a different technique.

Have you had a chance to fish this yet? I would love to know how effective it is. Cracking pattern. All the best, Sean

Brilliant.

very very nicely done,on a very small [24] it could pass as an emerging mosquito

Call it the "ECM" Emerging chironomid midge

Отличная работа. Достойна уважения.

I've seen a vaguely similar approach using squirrel tail but it did not work nearly as easily as your technique. It's a very interesting style, maybe Clarke's Split Parachute for the technique name?

Great......"Heli Coq ter" fly!!!

Different method. Thanks

Brilliant. Would make a great midge emerger in smaller sizes. How about the " Hackle backer " as opposed to stacker.

Fine idea and very well executed. What kind of conditions/water would this technique have advantages over a standard parachute? In this example the spread and density of the fibers is sparse and the hook wire heavy. In a fishing situation with constant casting, wetting etc would the "soft hackle", even though tied parachute, be enough to support a hook without the aid of floating yarn/body materials. Would any soft hackle be better put in a dubbing loop?

Interesting reverse method. It should be effective but the durabiltiy is my main concern. If it only holds up for two or three fish then the tying process is way too lengthy and tedious. Most traditional parachute patterns, if tied correctly with good material, are simple and fast to tie, and will hold up to many fish before ultimate failure. Nice concept though.

Interesting technique - will be trying tonight. BTW - What brand of scissors do you use?

Did it prove to be effective as a trout fly? Did you make it using the hook in the normal orientation and compare the effectiveness of one version against the other? And if so, what is your verdict? Is the new way of tying superior to the other?

So how did this fly do fishing it this year? Did you pick a name? I don't remember seeing anything else about it.

The ORD Splitwing

Has there been any changes to the pattern? Now that it is Summer, how is it fishing? Really interested in the pattern. All the best, Sean

Har bundet 10stk nå, ligger i vann nå:) ser helt konge ut! Kall den Barry back bender:)

A very interesting pattern Barry. I know it's not intended as a search pattern, but in honor of the great research vessel that never was, why not call it "Hackly McHackleface"?

Call it Barry back bender :)

Novus Paracelsus (Latin for New Parachute)

Nice tie. What thread are you using?

How about hacklechute? Kinda looks like hacklechuting to me.

Interesting - but brings up issues of drift and hook set in an opposite direction to fish facing directly into the stream flow. Duns get turned around when the wind blows directly downstream - this fly necessitates an upstream presentation and windy conditions to turn the fly around to the fish's face. Nice looking fly but does it work?

I submit : the Backassward as the name if I am not too late?

Howzbout Cluck d`Ord for a name.

interesting

So this is 2018 coming to an end how did it work?
