I will post a method I use when I have some large feathers and want to use them on smaller flies. I'm assuming you buy feathers that are loose instead of buying them on the skin?Brk Trthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12677442640158367831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-44193658558520239972021-01-27T19:03:10.720-05:002021-01-27T19:03:10.720-05:00Do you ever tie very small soft hackles where the ...Do you ever tie very small soft hackles where the hackle is too big.

Have you tried the Morus silks, pricey but I do think an exact duplicate of the now defunct Pearsall’s. But even Robert Smith says Pearsall’s not required for spiders. Morus has a US distributor, no financial interest. <br /><br />https://www.gunpowdercustomtackle.com/silk-threads<br /><br />And speaking of all things North Country nice work on the Chickabou Streamers Alistair! <br /><br />KevinNed Zeppelinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02825914856321439669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-38730415322959836602021-01-26T17:40:00.686-05:002021-01-26T17:40:00.686-05:00Mark Kautz
