Selecting hackle in fly tying can be a difficult decision, and a question I get asked a lot is, "What's the difference between saddle hackle and capes?" During this video, I go over some main differences between these two dry fly hackles, and then give some recommendations for purchasing each, including colors:
Tier 1: Grizzly, light/dark dun (barred), and ginger (barred)
Tier 2: Brown/furnace, black, cream
During this video, I also mention the previous one I made titled "Selecting Saddle Hackle", which you can view here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmVoPEN4EcE

I appreciate you viewing this fly tying video, and feel free to comment regarding your favorite type of hackle for dry flies. Fly tying for beginners can be difficult at first, thus be sure to stick with it and ask others for advice.
