Hello,

I am trying to tie up some baby buggers but can't get the hackle size correct. Can you give me some idea what you use for hackle on a size 14 bugger. The wooly bugger packs of hackle I get are too big. I thought about using a dubbing loop, and dubbing the body, then teasing out the fibers to produce the motion that the hackle produces. I have also thought about tying in a collar of partridge. much like a soft hackle fly. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
