FLYMPH FORUM

Supposed to work on run-ups from Hebgen in the Fall; may have to give that a try. Kinda like a Shakey Beely but a bit more subdued.

hook - Mustad 3906B #10
thread - Uni 8/0 fire orange
tail - pheasant tail
rib - x-small wire copper
abdomen - pheasant tail
thorax - Ice Dub orange
wing - Krystal Flash pearl
hackle - partridge


Mash down barb; start thread back about gap width back from the eye, tie in rib and wrap back to bend




tie in some PT fibers




wrap the butt ends forward, tie off and trim




counter-wrap wire rib; tie off, helicopter end






tie in some KF; let the ends hang out over the eye




dub thread, dub thorax






pull KF back over thorax and tie down; trim even with hook bend




tie in partridge feather (by the butt and the fibers tend to stand out from the fly, by the tip and they're more swept back - your choice)




wrap partridge, tie of, trim, whip finish (since soft hackles are classy), SHHAN

Another welcome addition! You do nice work Scott. I am grateful for your effort. Thank you

Scott,
That is one sweeeet looking soft-hackle! It has all of my favorite ingredients and you have brought them together in a very special way! I like your style!

Scott, this is a great looking combination with the tried and true paired with some hot triggers. I wouldn't be surprised at all to hear this is very effective. I would assume in very small sizes as well. Excellent photo sequence. I like your style.
