My simple Soft Hackle is a life stage variation of a $3 dip...

Tail & Hackle- Whiting Natural Dun Hen

Looking forward to try it sometime with the dips in the Madison.

Good looking pattern!!

Bill - That h dun hackle is really special. I like the fine flecks/barring. Beautiful fly.

I like your variation a lot better than its namesake; the $3 Dip never really got my blood moving.

Mike62,

I will add this to my dips to be fished together, and I probably use my Bead Head Krystal dip more than the original.

Bead head?
Sacrilege!!!

Wayne…

Nicely done Bill. I need to reconsider what I charge for my flies.
