what am I doing wrong?
I have been having quite a bit of luck lately on my local urban pond with the stocker trouts on my 4wt. So far the best results have come on a flo. pink soft hackle that we'll call the partridge and pink just to make things simple so that we can all picture the same general fly. My question is how do I get this fly to last for more than about 6-7 fish before it is completely destroyed? the first thing to go seems to be the thread wraps that make up the body of the fly. I end up fishing with a long misshapen ball of pink thread and the fish don't seem to like it as well.
Any advice? Do i just have to live with only catching a few fish on each fly?
