Scores, I love fishing softhackles. I couldn't get a hit on a bee imitation yesterday but a partridge and yellow did the trick. Only problem is, those little soft hackles draw every little fishes attention as well as the ones we're after.
Yes and they are hard on hackles...I've switched to teal but really struggle to get the hackle sparse. I strip one side and try to nip a few fibers before wrapping. Partridge looks better to me but the fish are not too fussy.

Sorry if I missed it earlier, but what size hooks? I'm planning on tying up a few really injured looking ones!
I REALLY like this. What does the silhouette look like in the water?
Thanks! It should slim down into a baitfish shape... Going to test it tomorrow.
Hard to see but stinger hook in the back.
