 I use a lot of soft hackle flies as prospectors, or if I am clearly not matching a hatch. I have caught some of my most memorable fish on small drab soft hackles. I do not usually get excited about fishing them, but I have to admit, a soft hackle often gets the job done.

Look up SBPatt's "Carnage" Flies ... great foam extended bodies.

 

I can do foam bodies fine. I was trying to get the deer ones down. Didnt go well as you can see.
