That looks dangerous 8-)

How do you do that hackle? is it split thread, or a loop or something?

Japp. See here - http://www.teazy.net/handmadeflies/hhd.html

I also used this type of hackle here http://www.teazy.net/handmadeflies/fhk.html - not exactly a "flymph" maybe, but fish don´t mind ;)

I like that fly a lot, will try that. :)
Great way of presenting the instructions too, that works well.

Hi,

played around with the method of tying the hackle pointing fowards, invented by French Aimé Devaux. Looks interesting too and sits well on the water. Can´t wait for spring now .....
