	Feathers
		Hackle is graded according to the length of the hackle feathers, the size of the hackle fibers and the amount of web.
		When you use hackle to tie flies you must size or gauge the hackle according to the size of fly you are tying.
		A size 12 hackle will have fibers which, when the hackle is wrapped around the hook, will be about as long as the hook gap or gape, some tiers use a length of 1 1/4 the length of the hook gap to size a hackle.

	Hackle - Army.ca
		Hackles are neither "battle honours" nor are they worn as a sign of disgrace, as many urban legends have described.
		While the whe white hackle was a at one time a standard affectation of grenadiers and fusiliers in the British Army, going out of fashion in the late 1800s, it was restored to the Royal Scots Fusiliers in 1902 to mark distinguished service during the South African War of 1899-1902.
		Blue hackle as worn by the QOCH and Cam H of O. Both Canadian regiments of Camerons adopted the blue hackle after the Second World War, as their namesake unit of the British Army (The Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders) had adopted the blue hackle in 1939.

		The Soft Hackle Charlie is a variant of the classic soft hackle wet fly.
		Other literature on soft hackles suggests one and a half or two, but this is for hackles not stripped on one side.
		The length of the hackle fibers should be around the length of the hook shank, but it's not too critical.

		The wrapping of the hackle will be the subject of a short, but focused, article soon to appear.

		Hackle from a rooster are usually used for dry flies because they are hard and stiff, do not soak up water and support the fly on the water.
		Hen hackle is used primarily for hackling wet flies or nymphs.

	OutdoorsBest Forums: Wooly Bugger Hackle?
		I bought 6 of the old Hoffman hackle saddle bits for about $20 total including shipping, this was maybe a year or two ago.
		Hackle bits are great and will tie a lot of buggers.
		The absolute best hackle to use for wooly buggers IMHO is the Metz saddles.

	A Better Way to Wrap Hackle, by Hans Weilenmann
		Traditionally, the following methods of hackling are recommended: After completing the body of the fly, tie in the dry fly hackle by the butt and wrap it in touching turns forward toward the eye.
		For hackled wet flies, especially soft-hackled flies, the traditional method is to tie the feather in by the tip, make a few turns toward the eye, catch the butt of the feather, trim it, and finish the head.
		Because the hackle is wrapped away from the eye of the hook, the hanging bobbin is not in the way, removing the need to 'hand over' the hackle pliers.

	An overview of hackle, by Ross Purnell
		Hebert's hackle is probably the only bloodline with both the hackle quality we are accustomed to today, and the iridescent dun flecking coveted by the American fly tiers who first bred birds from England.
		Today, Whiting saddle hackles are so long, and the feather quality is so superior to what was available five years ago, his company has replaced its old #1-#3 grading system with Olympic-style ratings of gold, silver, and bronze capes and saddles.
		Most hackle producers (including Whiting) claim their product is the most economical on a per-fly basis, but because of the inherent complexity of this claim, and the vagaries of individual tiers, an objective study is beyond the scope of this article.

	Peninsula Fly Fishers – Duck Soft Hackle
		One of the best techniques I have seen for using these feathers for soft hackle patterns is to get hold of the hackles near the stem, about 1/16-inch worth on either side of the stem.
		With a fine scissors, cut the tip hackles off at the stem then pull the remaining hackle forward into their original position.
		I have my hackle go to the back of the body for tail-less patterns and to the hook point on patterns with a tail.

	Buzz Hackle
		In the 1920's she was asked to tie an all-around attractor fly by one Al Lent, a friend of the family who was tired of being outfished by friends as frequently as he was.
		A lot of time has passed since then, and the Buzz Hackle is not as widely used as it might have been even thirty years ago.
		You might also notice that on the pictured fly, the fore hackle is slightly smaller than the aft hackle.

	Hackles Selecting a hackle - Global FlyFisher
		A technique that is used for soft hackle is to tie a hackle at another point in the hook and then bind down the hackle till you get to the eye, pull the hackle vertical and bind in front to support.
		The softer hackle will bend and with the help of the stiffer hackle will support the fly - this is how the french tie some of their flies.
		The classic example of this is the adams that uses brown and grizzly to imitate a cree hackle, which tend to be rare especially of good quality.

	GORP - Inspecting the dry fly hackle, and how to tie a neck (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		From a functional standpoint, particularly with regard to the classic design, the job of the hackle is to support and float the fly on the surface of the water.
		The Hoffman line of hackle, produced by Whiting Farms of Delta, Colorado, uses a three-step grading system based almost entirely on the number of feathers on a pelt and their length.
		When you're tying with neck hackles you must strip off everything that isn't part of the sweet spot; otherwise, you're simply crowding the hook with poorer-quality hackle and thicker quill, leaving no room for the prime stuff.

	Hatches Magazine - The Case For Soft-Hackle
		All soft hackle can be broadly divided into two groups; one group, the soft feathers taken from a hen chicken; the other, feathers from game and wild birds, the most utilized of this group being partridge, grouse, pheasant, and starling.
		This is the quality which every hackled wet fly: for use in rough water, should invariably have.
		By transplanting soft-hackle collars, beards, and palmering into other families of flies, trout anglers no longer have to be solitary in their appreciation of soft hackle flies.

	No-hackle (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Swisher and Richards found that a trout's view of a mayfly ---3 to 4 inches away--- is not even close to the "shaving brush" patterns that "look like gigantic monstrosities to the fish"·making them "wonder what strange new creature is invading their domain".
		Moreover, their work revealed that as a mayfly drifts into the view-window, the abdomen, tails and only part of 3-4 legs are first visible-but not the dense hackle points associated with many classic patterns.
		Tie a few strands of some good quality dry fly hackle on the far side of the hook and wrap the thread toward the back of the hook down to the ball of fur so as to crimp the fibers.

	Hackles The classical wet fly hackle - Global FlyFisher
		The classic hen hackle like Hoffmann softhackle, hen sets or chickabou are excellent, but the partridge fether and the red or yellow golden phesant body feathers are well suited too.
		The hackle is tied in with this small tip first and the 'good' side towards youself and the hackle stem pointing upwards.
		Another solution is to catch the stem with one turn of thread and wiggle the hackle horizontally back and forth until all barbs are free of the thread.
