A very simple soft hackle fly pattern that uses Krystal Flash for the body and brown partridge for a hackle. The beauty of this pattern is that you can vary the body in any color combination you want. Use a tungsten bead to make the pattern a fast-sinker and fishable in faster or deeper water.
Hook: #12-18 nymph or wet fly
Body: Krystal Flash, two strands wound as a rope
Bead: Brass or tungsten, sized to match the hook
Hackle: Brown partridge or hen soft hackle
This fly can be found in The Federation of Fly Fishers,

Savage Flies is a project with the mission of encouraging and teaching fly tying to as many people as possible. The channel is named after one of my western Maryland homewaters, the Savage River. I've been uploading at least three new videos a week (usually Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday).
Thanks for stopping by. Please let me know in the comments if you have any tying tips you would like to share or if you have any patterns you would like to see tied here.
