This pattern has been very productive for during caddis hatches. It's a #14, but can be spun much smaller. I have a few tied in #20 with black dubbing for the chimmara caddis hatch of mid May. This fly just could be the difference between a good day or an unforgettable day of catching when the larger caddis dries aren't working.  Simple and easy. This fly will put fish in your hands for sure. |

I LOVE IT! Simple is the way to go when you fish as much as people like us. I can't even imagine how many flies I lose each year, and it is easier to lose flies that take less time. Nice Tie!

I've been tying a lot of soft hackles lately. This one looks great. I don't have a partridge skin but I imagine I could just sub woodcock or snipe. I have ones tied similar to this just with no rib. Great looking fly for sure though. Nice job

soft hackles are the bomb .... I would have to agree 100%, I love tying & fishing them & over my short run as a fly fisherman I have caught more on wets than streamers & dries combined. |

a definite classic and nice job. great flies for mid may when there is any number of things hatching. they also work well greased up and fished as cripples in flat water. another great use is when it gets too dark to see your fly but the fish are still rising. you can cast to the rises and sort of dead drift it with tension and feel the fish take since you can't see. if the sulphers are emerging at dusk it works really well.
