However, not everyone has heard of Dennis Conrad and his hackle. Such determinations cannot possibly be made in any sort of subjective way, because every tyer has their own opinion on what is important in hackle. With some, it is the number of hackles that will wrap tiny tiny flies. With others, it is the color of the hackles. That's an interesting number, but not one that I care much about.
Value is something that needs to be determined by each buyer.
What I will talk about are the quality of the hackles. The way they tie. I will discuss the range of sizes found on necks and saddles. When all is said and done, you might be surprised with what such a small-scale hackle breeder can produce. A pair of Conranch dry fly necks.
