John will be demonstrating tying techniques used while tying his specialty … “Soft Hackles”.
“Trout fly fishers know the fish catching effectiveness of Soft Hackled flies. They just look and act “buggy”. The soft hackles pulsate, wiggling and jiggling in the softest of currents; just like a real bug. Scale up the size of the hook, hackle and thorax in some ‘hot’ colours and start swinging in your favourite steelhead river.
These flies are just as easy to tie as their trout counter parts.”
