thanks Alastair theres always more than one way to skin a cat i struggled myself for a long time with the descriptions in books until i came up with my own technique
Great! That looks the easiest I've seen. I learned holding one end pinched between middle finger crossed over index finger, like for good luck, the other end pinched between thumb and little finger. But it was stretched tight. Then I folded it with the right hand fingers, my dominate hand. Thanks for the way you orient the hackle and rotate it for wrapping so fibers lay back, or up, I never knew that. Great tip, 👍 thanks!

Good stuff. Good to see different techniques as I usually double as I wrap and sometimes lose control. Doing it before hand ensures it's right before committing to the hook.
I don’t seem to be able to get the fibers to stay doubled over. The fibers spring back to their original position. Are you using cock or hen hackle ? Do you wet the fibers as you stroke them ? I can see how these approaches should work but I’m not doing something right. Thanks for all the great videos Ryan !! Curtis
NO NEED TO WET THEM AND IT WORKS WITH ANY HACKLE YOU ARENT BENDING THE BASE OF THE FIBRES ENOUGH YOU SHOULD BE PULLING PRETTY FIRMLY JUST BELOW THE PRESSURE THAT WOULD STRIP THEM OFF
All You need to know about hackles, thoroughly explained, thanks....!!!
Ryan first of all I have been tying flies for a fair few years now I still don't know how u do that so easily amazing 😅 keep the videos coming
That's brilliant Ryan. Been struggling with doubling hackles for years and just come across this - thanks so much!

Excellent tutorial Ryan. Many thanks.
Thanks man John Moore recommended watching this and I'm glad I did.
What an excellent tutorial. No twanging guitars and flash, just common-sense instruction. I must try this with CDC.
Great technique, I for one havn't even been aware this can be done. Many thanks Ryan
Man this is genius, thank you
Wow! I am impressed by this technique.
Excellent video
Nice video and excellent instruction. Thank you, Ryan.......
Great tip Ryan 💯💯💯💯 thanks for sharing.
Great techniques Ryan. Definitely will try it this winter tying season. Thank you
You make it look so easy Ryan, but great way to double a hackle.👍👍
Nice technique. It definitely lays differently than the way I do it. I don’t know that the fish care but it does look sweet. :)
