Hans, Howdy;
Beautiful fly, I'm drawn to the tail, first like that I've seen...
interesting feather.
How did you tye in the hackle ?
Did you use the 'split-thread' or a different method ??
Thanks,
hank

Bunch of barbs tied in as first material, tips over the eye. Folded back over body, after tail and body were completed.
To see it performed, you might check out the Lava clip I posted to Youtube

Hans, Howdy;
Thanks for the link, I remembered it once it started, but well worth
viewing again.
I was only asking as I know you also do hackle in the slpit thread method as well.
Your toolbox has many tools...
Thanks,
hank
