The other day, Mike Richardson did a post about using grouse feathers. I mentioned the bread crust. It is done by taking a grouse tail feather and spliting it down the middle. Then soak well in water or it will split for sure. Also trimming the feather barbs close to the stem. I cut them to about 1/8'' then trim them as need once applied to the hook. Then adding your hackle. Here I used hen grizzly. Partridge also works very well. This fly was one of my Dads favorite wet flies. It does catch fish. This one is for you Dad.
