Good summary Macfly.
Brook I have never used hackle pliers, but I guess it is good to learn right[cool]
As far as HAIR FLIES, you will need a stacker for Elk Hair Caddis. Personally I have never been able to STACK Bucktail come to think of it, Calf tail (the ones on the long tail like thing) either.
As for hair flies, be sure and look for pelts that have long fibers and they are squiggly at the base. They wrap better.
