A couple things I noted when I just started tying:
I can't get the dubbing to stick to the thread? Any thoughts?
Why does my hackle for a wooly worm stay clumped together and not splay nicely? It is dyed by the way.
I can't find hackle for small barbules for dry flys. I guess I have the wrong hackle.
The partridge feathers I use are fragile and snap off when I use the hackle pliers. Am I not supposed to use them or am I just too rough?
Regards,
paff
