Nicely dressed fly. Seems as how the best judge deems them excellent too.

That is a great soft hackle pattern. I will copy it and if anyone asks me about it, I will certainly give you all the credit. Thanks for posting the picture and materials. That Brown trout looks like a "fall trout" with rich, bright colors--just beautiful!

How the heck did I miss this post? Must have been during one of my business trips earlier this year. Darn job keeps getting in the way of my passion for soft hackles...

John - Exemplary example of a fishing fly. Purposeful, imitative, and proven effective. Kudos on all counts!

I'd steal flies from your box any day... :twisted: :D

Good looking fly. So I have to ask. Since Golden Plover is about impossible to get does anyone know of a suitable substitute? Thanks.

It's not impossible to get but you need to get on Cookshill's waiting list and be patient.
