Re: Four Bird Soft Hackle
Good catch, willow. This is especially nice. I tie some nymph patterns with the herl but...and this is a nice variation on that style.

Re: Four Bird Soft Hackle
Another nice one Ray. Like the Starling hackle - bet it looks real good in the water.
Thanks for posting.

Re: Four Bird Soft Hackle
Thanks guys. This is one of the patterns I posted on the Flymph Forum 1.0 (before we moved to this new version).
Mark (willowhead) - you must have gone through all of the patterns on this site. You've found some of the patterns I copied over to this new and improved forum.

Re: Four Bird Soft Hackle
There never was any sound in the video. It is just a slideshow illustrating the tying steps. It was my way of learning the capabilities of the Google's Picasa software. When Google added the ability to combined photos into a video presentation, I had to try it out. I love learning to use new software.
