The winter issue of Fly Tyer has an article on stimulators. The author leave the tag end of the thread hanging over the bend, then, after palmering the hackle over the abdomen, counter-wraps the thread to the thorax. This is meant to increase the fly's durability by binding down the hackle.
Here's the problem; I can't do this without binding down big clumps of hackle fibers.
Should I just skip this step or is there a trick I'm missing?
