ABSTRACT:
A device and method for folding a hackle feather for fly tying purposes. The invention is designed to facilitate folding of the barbs of a feather in a uniform direction from the quill so that the feather may be used for fabricating artificial flies for fishing. The invention provides for a pair of flexible resilient members with pliant corresponding concave faces. One member is slightly larger than the other. The resilient members are held together at their base and the concavity of each member forces them together at their extended ends. The smaller of the two resilient members has a tapered edge which forms a notch between the outward end portions of the members. The feather to be folded is maneuvered into the notch, and inserted between the pliant faces of the two members. The concave faces then are pressed together, folding the feather.
