The hackle is a Furnace Metz hen that I just pu at a very nice price. Look at those black tips ! Tres nice! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Moshup 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2020 The fly had small oval gold ribbing which you can’t see due to the exposure. Need to get something better to take pics other than my cellphone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DUBBN 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2020 The majority of the time I use size 16 and 14 soft hackles. There are times tho when I use a size 24. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DarrellP 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2020 A Carey special is commonly tied in size 8. It is a big soft hackle. Then there are Steelhead and sea run cuts flies. Some Steelhead soft hackles are pretty big. I use a lot of size 10 soft hackles for panfish. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted October 30, 2020 A guide showed me some with flash for bodies. Gotta tryem though. They’re 14,16,18. Would really like to see some pics of the 20s and smaller. Thanks Whipped out a few more. Don’t have small enough feathers for the 20,22s. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
