Notes: The Hackle Stacker is a mayfly emerger pattern. It utilizes a
paraloop method of wrapping hackles around a looped monofilament and bringing the monofilament over a
dubbed thorax to a tie-off location just behind the eye. The result is a group of hackles residing upon
the top of the thorax keeping the hackles well above the hook shank. This allows the fly to submerge
itself well into the surface film and results in better hook-ups due to the hook placement being lower
in the water. Bob Quigley is
often cited as the developer of this fly although the technique can also be attributed to Jim Cramer and
the late Ned Long, who used it as well. Often, many will fish this pattern behind a hi-vis dun using the dun as an indicator. Rather than utilizing a material such as 7X monofilament as the hackle post, other materials can be used such as Z-lon, Poly Yarn, Floss, and thread. The stiffer materials can be used as a wing post without a gallows tool. | ||
