Grizzly hackle Grizzly hackle (1 feather)
How to tie it
Start orange thread, lay a smooth base, and tie in a length of orange holographic tinsel at the bend.
Wrap the tinsel forward in touching turns to the 70% mark for a bright segmented body, tie off and trim.
Tie in a short loop of 6X mono pointing forward over the eye. This is the post the hackle will stack against.
Tie in a grizzly hackle by the stem at the front of the body.
Wrap the hackle 4-6 turns up the standing mono loop, then fold the loop back over the top of the fly and bind it down. This pulls the hackle into a low, flush bundle over the body.
Trim the loop tag and any stray fibers underneath so the fly sits flush, then whip finish a small orange head and cement.
