A little while back we got a reader comment asking how to select the best feathers from the packs of strung saddle hackle, schlappen and marabou. In this new video, Jay Nicholas shows you how to make the most of your fly tying feathers. How to grade feathers in a package, how to sort them, and which parts of the feather make the best flies.
Fly tying materials discussed:
Strung Saddle Hackle
Strung Marabou Blood Quills
Schlappen
Thanks a bunch for this. I made the comment about this issue and I am excited about the video. Since I am on a roll I figure I will toss out another one. I need help on using a whirler. Maybe a video about how to spin ostrich and lady amherst feathers? I have not been able to get this one and some detailed info about how to do this would be awesome!!
