Soft hackle PT

Post by Terrestrial12 » Tue Oct 04, 2022 9:09 am

I'm tying about a million Carey's Specials to fill a few customer orders and had to break up the monotony. I had a phesant skin laying on my bench and a super pretty church window was sticking up so I plucked it and this is what I came up with.
Hook- size 12 fire hole pupa
Tail/abdomen- phesant tail
Rib- fine gold wire
Thorax- brown ostrich herl
Legs- chuch window feather
Head- claret tying tread
I think it will do really well but I can't decide if I should fish it up in the film or if I should weight it and dredge it on the bottom. I might stretch it out on a 1x long straight shank hook and add a wing case over the ostrich herl.

This thing glows! Gorgeous!
Fish when you can, not when you should! Anything short of this is just a disaster.
