Been getting into tying smaller flies as of late, mostly caddis and mayfly patterns, but I just cant seem to find any hackle that is short enough. Im finding that they are way too long and it looks dumb. What is the best kind of hackle for these flies? If anyone could give me a link or just a place that sells it that would be great! Cheers.
