{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Tying soft hackle flies is kicking my butt...

No need to limit yourself to partridge neck. Pheasant, peahen, quail, starling and even chicken (hen) feathers will do the trick with soft hackles. Bring hackle pliers. Have any floss? 

Dave Hughes' book Wet Flies is a good resource for wets, flymphs, soft hackles with tying instructions. There's also books by Sylvester Nemes. Online check out http://globalflyfisher.com/

I'll be there on Monday so tap me on the shoulder and I'll be happy to help. Turbine Blade will probably chine in on this as well.

I'll bring along my vise, bobbin, thread, hooks, dubbing and a partridge neck (anything else?).

Help me Obi Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope.

Many thanks,
Jim
