Hello everyone,

I am having a hard time tying off the hackle right behind the hook eye. I can wind it properly but when i go to tie the hackle off, im moving from a horizontal wrap to a virtical wrap... so after i tie off, there is a portion of hackle covering the thorax of my fly. You can notice where i have pulled the hackle to the eye to tie it off.

Is there a proper way of tying off hackle on these flies, so that there is a clean tie off. The fly looks horrible when there is a bunch of hackle pinned down and you cannot pull it out without unwinding the hackle.

deeply in need of help..

Thanks in advance everyone
