I have been thinking that I may want to try tying some Elk Hare Caddis in 12 - 16. Uo to this point I have not tied any dry flys.

So here is my question. What hackle should I look at that won't break the bank. I see some advertised as Grade 1, 2 & 3. I have seen some grade #3 1/2 necks for around $25. And yes I have check out some of the sponsors websites, but I am an old rookie when it comes to this stuff.

So without laboring me with allot of suggestions, would some of you tell me what I should be looking for and where?
