Dry Fly Hackle Question
#2
Yes the dark vs light barring can make a difference. Not often enough to make it a big deal at first.

I suggest you look at the ten dry flies you want to tie. If the majority call for a light barring and a few call for the dark barring then buy the light and tie them all with the light.

Option two is to buy the 100 packs from whiting. They really do have enough hackle to tie that many flies and for the cost of one cape you can get many different shades and sizes.
