Hen Wing Muddler Saw this winging technique here. As advertised, it may not look great on a show fly, but since I don’t usually tie for show and I’m in the mood to wing one for fishing, it seems to work well enough using the abundant supply of hen back and saddle feathers I have...

Reindeer & Rabbit Muddler Caribou makes for nice heads on smaller flies; a bit unruly but it spins, packs and trims very well. Only issue I’ve had has been dyeing; its very dense and has a lot of underfur )I need to find a way to extend time in the dye bath without over-cooking it and...
