I tied the Crackleback pattern here FAOL - chartruese. It worked exceptionally well the three times I have used it for Rainbows, Brookies, browns, and Greenback cutthroat trout on Front Range Creeks...
The pattern on FAOL calls for a tail.
I wrapped a few turns of thread into the hackle after tying the stripped end of the hackle in. Thus a few fibers of the hackle lay back for a tail.
