Okay, generally the thing I do most and have the hardest time doing is finishing tying on a piece of hackle. Whether it's for a parachute or just on the body (like a griffith gnat), I always end up tying half the hackle down onto the hook. For example, I was tying BWOs with parachutes last night. When viewed from the top, the parachute should form a general shape of a circle, mine look like more of a half circle.
Anyhow, what are some techniques and methods for finishing hackle without tying the hackle down?!
