Sometimes it's hard to find long enough hackle that is suitable for the Spey or Dee fly "look." Although I wouldn't say these flies have long flowing hackle, they do have a Dee "look" and will definitely have motion. These aren't too difficult to tie and the material is readily available. The toughest part to tie is the wings.
