Alright, color me embarassed, I know there are different types of hackle, like saddle hackle, neck, etc. And I know that they are used for different purposes. But what I want to know is are the hen hackles used for dries as well, or do they tend to be more for soft hackles and other wet flies. Also, in several of A.K. Best's recipes he uses a particular hackle for the wings of his quill body dry flies. The feather is much different than the saddle hackle that I have purchased. Can someone point me in the right direction on this issue. I have been tying for about two years now, but I would like to learn more about the hackle issue. Thanks.
