FLY
GALLERY When it comes to all purpose wet flies, the Diamond Soft Hackle is hard to beat. This general attractor pattern works well throughout much of the season and can be fished effectively on a dead drift or with a swing. As our fall mayfly hatches get underway during the month of September, this is a great fly to have in the box, particularly in smaller sizes. Fished prior too and during an emergence, this pattern can work wonders. Tied with a glass bead or without any bead at all, it’s an excellent dropper below a dry. Tie this bug like any other soft hackle pattern. In order to make sure the peacock thorax is secure, it’s not a bad idea to rib the silver wire all the way to the bead. Any blemishes this causes in the thorax area should be hidden by the hackle. Slightly oversized, sparse hackles work well. |
