Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Howcomzit #4 -- "do it all" flies suck

Oh, I don't need dry fly hackle period.  I have some, but seldom use it.  I just tend to like other stuff better. 

I use some small grizzly cape (#3) for tiny Al's tricos, for that one trico hatch I'm planning to fish for 15 minutes sometime before 2030.  It has the same value as the integrated shooting head (teeny BS 100) I use when I want to drag a black-colored line along jagged rocks and then get a streamer stuck in my wading boot when rolling it up to recast.

Try substituting squirrel for wood chuck in the Chuck Caddis pattern.  Less webby gives a better float, but you hardly need to buy Grade #1 necks or saddles, IMO..
