Soft Hackle Fly: Partridge And Pheasant Soft Hackle (Dozen)

SOFT HACKLE FLY: PARTRIDGE AND PHEASANT SOFT HACKLE WET FLY (Dozen Flies)

The soft hackle fly style is hundreds of years old and was brought back into prominence by Nemes in 1975 with his book 'The Soft-Hackled Fly'. The secret to fishing soft hackles is to use the time-honored wet-fly swing: Cast your fly across and slightly downstream, immediately throw a big mend upstream and let the soft hackle fly settle and then swing across the stream until it is directly below you. Take a couple steps downstream and repeat. What, you think this sounds like a steelhead fishing technique? You're right - there really isn't that much new under the sun, although we often forget time-honored techniques when we read the modern gurus preaching absolute drag-free drift presentation for trout nymph fishing. Try the wet fly swing and be prepared for very heavy takes.
