How do you fish these soft hackles?? Do you strip them back in or let them drift?

These are timeless patterns, and there is really no wrong way to fish them
I mostly fish them as I would a dry - dead drift in the film, or slightly sub-surface. Most takes are detected visually. Cheers, Hans W |

Have you ever thought of doing some instructional videos on how to tie these beautiful flies?? If you already have where can we find them? |

Thanks for asking.
To date the only video clip I have made has been on the CDC&Elk (http://www.flyfisherman.com/ftb/cdcelk.wmv) Will there be any others? Who knows at this stage ;-) Cheers, Hans W |
