Having done some research on this subject, I am more confused than before I started, as to what is the best type of feather to use. Having just started tying, I have only a small selection of a couple of different half saddles, and alot of low quality strung saddle. I notice that the dry fly saddles don't have feathers that posess the right amount of web, and are usually too small to tie even a size six streamer, whereas the strung saddle seems to be far to large. Neither of these feathers feature the rounded tip that is preferred either. What do you folks use for tying these types of flies. As an example of what I am attempting would be this: [url=http://globalflyfisher.com/patterns/simple_streamers/:a7f58]Bergman simple streamers[/url:a7f58]. I plan to also experiment with tying smaller versions of classic Rangley streamers.
