Fly Tying

3rd time is the charm

Recommended Posts

I'm hoping to get out this weekend for some fishing....and wanted to tie some new soft hackles (since I'm still learning to tie them).....the 1st one came out bad (but fishable), the second on was hackled too big, and third time.....I was happy......unfortunately it didn't look as good in this pic.....

One sample I tied up to try on the White and Norfork when I can sneak away from my tying station at Sow Bug three weeks from now :)

The softies you tied are not all that bad. You'll catch fish with them, I'm sure. Keep practicing.

 

Hans, great looking fly! Very flymph-like with the dubbed body and turned up eye-like Hidy's.

Mark,

 

you were right I tried out the softies I posted on a Spring Creek and they put a couple of fish in the bank for me.....once they are wet they look like large midges that have drowned. I really am starting to like this wet fly thing.
