Here's one whipped up after watching Marty and Dec's DVD again. Great inspiration. The long black hackle is a Whiting Spey hackle tied in as a second throat just before tying in the teal.

On a size 3/0 AJ.

Sweet fly Scott. That's the stuff that gets crushed in my neck of the woods. How do you like the Whiting spey hackle ?

The Whiting cape that I used is a B grade, and it's the first I've used. The fibers are a lot thinner (whispier?) than true heron, but the construct is almost identical. I wonder if the A grade would have a thicker fiber?

I wouldn't have tied it in on this fly as a full hackle, but I think it looks damn fine as a throat / accent.

If you want to try a handful before buying a cape send me a PM and I'll mail off a half dozen or so to ya.

The fibers, for how thin they are, appear to be pretty damn strong, I'll give them that.

Scott.

I really like this fly. I have used the Whiting hackles in this same way. they make great collars. they also palmer along with the other body hackle giving extra movement. Thanks for the reminder, gonna have to dig mine out.

Pure class. Great lines and wing set. Will do the trick for sure.
