I tie them all kinds of ways John. I use softer hackle for Stillwater than for fast. Try folding or tying the hackle in such a way that both sides of the hackle end up point up. Or wrap your hackle around the chenille than wrap it.

Just curious. I usually tie mine up with two hen hackles, I like them bushy like that, but I awas wondering if I would have even better luck fishing them sparse. I once tied some without a palmered body, just one hen hackle as a collar. Out fished most of my other ones. But I have not really fished that pattern enough to test it out right. > > Let me know > JOhn
