Thanks for the inspiration.

Gotta say thanks to Soft Hackle and Letumgo for the work they are doing with soft-hackle flies. I tied up a few and went after some bluegills. The flies work fine. They will be even better when I get used to using them. Even the smallmouths showed some interest in the larger ones. Caught two smallies on them. Here's a picture of a few I tied up. For sure, soft-hackle flies have a place in fly box. Can't wait to try them on trout.

Awesome set of flies, Hopper John! :headbang: :headbang: :headbang:

 

My face lit up with a big smile when I read your note and saw all of these great patterns you tied! Glad to hear the flies are working for you.

Very nice looking flies. Glad to hear someone is catching some fish.

Great job! Gotta love those soft hackles. I tied up a bunch of letumgo's POP fly pattern too, they have a permanent place in my soft hackle box

now. (thanks letumgo)

I've found soft hackles to be addictive - easy and fast to tie, and they catch fish. Check out softhackle's web site for lots of ideas and great patterns.
