Re: SOFT~ HACKLE JOURNAL
More than a little bit sad. Just got this last issue today, and it’s the last issue. As in, ever. Very sorry to read this but I understand that life gets in the way. Another FF magazine folded late last year. That was my favorite. Steve knows which one. My best wishes to Steve. I really enjoyed this...

Re: SOFT~ HACKLE JOURNAL
Finally got around to reading it, cover to cover. Excellent! I did go to Ace and bought some wax meantioned in tips. I already had more than I will ever use, but... I bought the wax mentioned. Very, very sticky. I wouldn't put it on your finger. I usually just put some on my tying bench, where this...

Re: Anxious
I got a nice Partridge skin from Feather-Craft online and bought one once from Cookshill. I particularly liked the one from Feather-Craft because it was smaller than what you normally see for sale. I also purchased a Partridge skin from F-C several months ago. It was described as "Pen raised&q...

Re: Prairie Chicken Skin
Ray, I found one of your flies from a long time ago in FTF, using prairie chicken hackle. It really does look like plover. https://www.flytyingforum.com/index.php?/topic/65654-the-prairie-chicken-twist/ How small does the hackle get? Size 10 is just about the largest soft hackle I usually tie. Dale

Re: Mystery Feather Soft Hackle
Thanks, Doug. I believe that the quality of this picture is more due to the subject than the photographer.

Re: Mystery Feather Soft Hackle
This is the closest I got to a fish 3 weeks ago in Nikko.
I did manage to catch Cherry blossoms though it was slightly past peak.
