Dry fly hackle Brown hackle (One feather)
Dry fly hackle Grizzly hackle (One feather)
How to tie it
Mount the 1X-long dry fly hook and lay a base of black thread back to the bend.
Grab eight or ten golden pheasant tippet fibers, hold the tips even and snip them off the stem so they stay aligned, then tie them in at the bend for a tail slightly longer than the hook gap, with the second black bar showing. Trim the butts.
Tie in one brown and one grizzly dry fly hackle at the bend, first pulling the fibers back to expose a couple of millimeters of bare stem so the first wrap does not lie over the tail. This fly has no body: the hackle is palmered up the bare shank.
Take the thread forward to about the 75% point for the post. Cut a clump of white calf tail, pull out the loose underfur, and check the amount by twisting it 180 degrees: the resulting rope should be about the diameter of the hook wire.
Tie the calf tail in tips-forward with a loose collecting wrap, coming up under and pulling upward to keep it from spinning, then add six or seven tight wraps. Trim the butts at an angle and cover them to build a small ramp.
Lift the hair upright and build a thread dam hard against the front of it, then take two or three wraps around the base of the post as you would for a parachute so it stands straight up.
Take the thread up to the eye and throw a half hitch to park the bobbin.
Palmer both hackles forward together in open, even turns up the bare shank, keeping the fibers perpendicular to the shank, and take two wraps in front of the post before tying off.
Lock the hackle down with a couple of thread wraps in front, trim the excess, sweep any forward-pointing fibers back or trim them, build a small head and whip finish.
Trim the calf tail post so it stands just slightly taller than the hackle tips. Optionally trim the hackle flat on the bottom to the hook point to let the fly sit in the film.
