Mayfly Hackle Stacker
Curtis Fry - April, 2019
Our buddy Ian Wilson, who ties a mean fly or two, steps in on this tutorial to tie up one of his favorite styles of mayflies -- the hackle stacker. You can mix and match this color scheme to whatever naturals you find you need. Also, the hackle can be anything from a dun to a light tan dun or whatever you find you've got. Give this a try
