Tying tips - How to make a Hare Guard Fur Hackle for your flies
Using Hare guard fur instead of hackle is super fun and gives the possibility to create superb flies. Guard fur is waterproof due to special construction and has an unique pigmentation.
A few advises when you work with this type of fur:
*cut it from the base
*take out the underfur (just blow air while you keep the guard fur from the tips)
*after you fix the fur in dubbing loop or split thread spread it as uniform as possible ( length of loop with hair trapped should be equal with hook shank )

I have enjoyed watching his videos for years now, and they really should be shared more
