Dick Winter's Black Drake Soft Hackle

Dick Winter's Black Drake Soft Hackle is tied using a maroon or brown body ribbed with contrasting gray mono-cord ribbing. The fly is part of a life-cycle series and based on Polly Rosborough patterns. Dick and Polly were partners in a fly tying business in the 1970's working together closely. Dick's patterns balance simplicity and realism. Being a commercial fly tyer, simple patterns were preferred especially when several dozens are required to be tied in an afternoon.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
