Last summer I spent a day fly fishing with a guide that was really into soft hackles, and had a great day of fishing with him. After that, I started playing with soft hackle patterns, trying different patterns that I found, and experimenting with variations. I came up with this one in the process, and had some really great luck with it. It's basicly a pheasant tail with flash. The trout loved it.

What's your favorite soft hackle??
