Ralph's response in his Bivisible Moose thread got me wondering. I've always tied my hackle shiny side forward, whether winding collars, palmering bodies front-to-back or back-to-front (for parachutes it's shiny side down). I know at one time it was pretty common to tie dull-side forward, before the advent of the genetic hackle we have available today. I was wondering which direction other folks are going these days on their drys?
Ralph, in no way am I criticizing your choice; it's obvious from the vid and photos that you're producing a quality fly.
Regards,
Scott
