[quote flygoddess]You tie it like a normal bugger minus the hackle, then add Marabou to the top just behind the eye of the hook like a wing. I suggest to peel the fibers off the marabou, don't use the whole feather (meaning the spine) as it doesn't flow as nice.[/quote]
So that's the trick! I wondered why mine were looking a little "stiff."
Also, Schiess's book recommends a Dai-Riki 700, which is a 4x long streamer hook. I was tying on a 3x long hook.
I'll get it right some day.
