letumgo 0 Report post Posted July 10, 2007 Very nice fly. I can't believe how small the head is on this fly. I tend to have a lot larger head when I wrap back over the stem. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Compton 0 Report post Posted July 10, 2007 Mtn, Nice Spider. Your pattern description doesn't say which hook you're using? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mtn 0 Report post Posted July 10, 2007 Thanks guys. Letumgo, I used a hen hackle which is pretty easy to double over and then wrap so it sweeps back without having to wrap back over the stem. Kevin Compton the hooks is a size 10 Fulling Mill 31530 (Competition Heavyweight). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trout Bum 68 0 Report post Posted July 10, 2007 Mtn Very nice. I tie my soft hackles the very same way, it seems to be quicker for me at least. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lonewolve 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2007 Mtn, Very well tied softhackle ,this will work on most of the streams and the Delaware River for lil yellow stoneflies,too bad all i have is mustad pre china hooks,and daiichi 1530's . Great job. Softhackles have been a regular staple on the Lehigh River (my home river) as well as the Pocono and North Central Pennsylvania streams. Im looking foward to more soft hackles.

mtn 0 Report post Posted July 12, 2007 Kevin, I had a look on the Fulling Mill website and I can't find a barbless model, I usually just pinch down the barb with some pliers. Thanks Chris, yep its persalls. Its the lighter yellow rather than the darker shade. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
