Hi everyone, I started fly tying last year and am looking to purchase some decent dry fly hackle. My starter kit came with a grizzly and a brown half cape but the quality is terrible. The smaller feathers (size 14 or smaller) are so tiny, they are basically unusable. Just wondering where you all like to buy your dry fly hackle? Thanks!

I have been having lots of luck lately on the dry fly due to the massive amount of caddis flying around, however I am having trouble hooking up with larger fish. The smaller fish are damn near suicidal when they hit my fly and a hook set is not required most of the time. I did have some larger fish come up and hit based on vision and just the size of the swirl and splash. I lost several fish (16"+) over the past week either off the hook set or in the first few seconds of the fight. Does anyone have any do or dont's to improve my hook up percentage? Thanks!

Please join the staff this Sunday, November 25, for our next free Sunday seminar! This seminar will feature Fish Tales crew member and guide Jeff Harrop who will be tying up some of his favorite dries for the Bow River. Jeff will go over these favorite patterns and discuss some tactics for using them on the water. Our seminar begins at 1:00 and is free and open to the public. Looking forward to seeing you then! For CFL fans, not to worry, as you know the Grey Cup begins at 4:00 and we promise to have you home well in time for the game!
