Wind Some Hackle    
Wind Some Hackle
Wind to the back.
Tie on a tail or two. The tail helps to
catch the currents, which helps make the fly move.
Wind on a long olive-dyed grizzley saddle. Tie in by
the tip. Pull out thread until the bobbin tip is
just below the butt of the hackle feather.
Hold both the thread and the hackle butt together.
Wind both forward. Add some more hackle and wind
up to the front. Try to get some bushy, marabou-like
hackle fibers to adorn the front end of the fly.
