rockworm 0 Report post Posted May 12, 2010 There are four soft-hackle flies at: Step-By-Steps The Waterhen Bloa and Stewart's Spider are traditional North Country soft-hackles. The Hare's Ear Flymph and Pale Watery Dun are somewhat more recent soft-hackles. I hope this helps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
