Tying the Bivisible Moose

[ScottP]

Ralph,

Another winner. One question - in the pic, and the video, it looks like you tied the cree body hackle with the dull side forward; any reason in particular? Do you find that palmered body hackle works better tied that way (I usually tie it the same as collared hackle, with the shiny side forward)?

Regards,
Scott

Scott, yes I tie both in dry fly fashion. Dull side forward.

Nice fly.
Technically though, shouldn't it be a "Palmered Moose?"

[NJTroutbum]

If it were all one hackle color yes, you would be correct. But with the contrasting shades it becomes a bivisible.

Ok.
