This is a Softhackle-Baetis pattern I first saw on Charlie Cravens' website more years ago than I care to mention. For some reason, he no longer has it in his tutorials.

It has been a confidence pattern for me from the first day I fished it.

That's nice. I can see why it's a confidence pattern for you. What are you using for hackle?

Ha, forgot that ingredient.

Dark Gray Dun hackle.

I can see why! That is clearly “a producer”!

Thanks Wayne (& Charlie)

Great looking fly!!

Now I have to buy some chartreuse wire!

Excellent looking fly, DUBBN. I just happen to have all the materials to tie it too. The ribbing really pops out with the dark body.
Simply gorgeous.
