I like the use of rachis but I wonder if you’ve ever experimented with pig bristle?? I just started using them and think it would suit this pattern splendidly for feelers instead of the rachis, thanks for all the content i especially enjoy the sea trout and salmon patterns as of late
@@Thefeatherbender thank you for the insight and the constant stream of videos they are much appreciated, I’ve recently started tying salmon flies out of curiosity and pig bristles are a brand new material to me I’m still not certain about their behavior when wet, really enjoying all of the sea trout patterns you’ve been producing as of late
Awesome Barry! Looks good for Atlantic salmon here in eastern Canada. Thanks for sharing all.
Thanks, yes its a great fly for Atlantic salmon...
Thanks Barry
Thank you.
Brilliant camera angle.🤙🏴
Thank you.
Wonderful instructions and video as always. Why do you choose the double hook on this one?
Thank you, The double and treble hook is what this pattern was designed for. Although I have seen it done on singles also.
Great looking fly, where do you purchase the double hooks? Thanks 😊
Thanks, probably one of the most popular salmon flies in Europe. The double is a Mustad Heritage.

Yes I have, they are not stiff enough. I have tried many different materials, even synthetic but the hackle rachis are without doubt the very best.
