Note: 
Take feather and stroke fibers back to stand upright 90 degrees to center. 
Trim fibers on both sides 1/8” to 3/16” for almost full length, leaving about
two turns of the softer base fibers full length.  Once body is formed tie
in rib to end at head, leaving full hackle same as a wet fly.  Can also be
tied without the long hackle.  A really simple, effective fly for many
species of fish.  Can be tied weighted or un-weighted and in a variety of
colors (brown & olive are also good.
