Hi, Don - I have a question about hackle on your rope dubbed buggers. I've been tieing in the hackle by the tip at the curve of the hook bend, roping the dubbing but keeping the hackle out of the rope, rope-dubbing the dubbing, tieing off the rope-dubbed dubbing, then hackling palmered hackle (not roped) in the creases made by the rope-dubbed dubbing. But after reading what you sent, it leads me to think that you actually rope the hackle itself... can you speak to that? First, whether you did rope the hackle, second whether it is roped with the dubbing en masse, and third can you speak a little to how this method actually is, well, how it works? I can't picture it happening - wouldn't you get a great deal of the hackle fibers trapped under the rope and sticking every which way, if you roped the hackle? or is that the point, to have them at variate lengths (due to being trapped under the rope) and to have the hackle fibers sticking at odd angles to the shank of the hook, all bushy-like? I suppose with flowing spey hackle, it isn't as noticeable as with, say, dry fly hackle, but I'm intrigued with this possibility for both instances (I realize we were speaking of wooly buggers, which aren't exactly in the "dry fly" realm... by any stretch... but I am asking more as technique than strictly for the buggers). Thanks, Don! Keep on tyin' -Pete
