When your tying a fly, like a Black Dog, one with a floss body, no dubbing, and hackle how do you tie down the hackle?
I assume the floss is tied down at the front of the fly and run down to the end and then back to the front.
So, do you tie down the hackle, and then run the floss front to back to front and just work around the hackle? Or do you start the floss and run it front to back and then use the floss to tie down the hackle as you are bring the floss back to the front of the fly?
Thanks for the help,
Chris
