I'm working on a purple and black soft hackle/wet type fly, a little bit traditional, but a lot bit my own. Was thinking a #12 emerger/scud type hook, purple thread body, some black peacock ice dub for thorax, a bit of gadwall flank for a wing, pinch of black shaggy dub for some extra wiggle, and a turn or so of black hackle..... the problem I'm having is all that stuff fitting at the front of the hook and still looking decent. I left the shaggy dub out last night on one and it looked alright.... but then it loses a little "wiggle" for the warm water fish I'm going to be targeting. I've got a few ideas on how to pull it off.... we will see how it goes.
