Tips for parachute hackle

[Scruffy Fly]

I use Hans Van Klinken's method for whip finishing around the post. It makes the whip finish feel natural and easier to do.

Some of the time I do catch some fibers under the thread but they are never around the eye of the hook. Any trapped fibers are easy to trim off if you want to trim them off since they are not over the eye of the hook.
