- Description
Some flies just work. The soft hackle is one of them. For over a century, anglers have known the secret of its success: the pulsating, life-like movement of its soft feather collar, which perfectly mimics an insect struggling to emerge from the water's surface. It's a dinner bell that trout can't resist.
We took this timeless classic and gave it a modern, tactical edge. Our Hot Spot Pheasant Tail Soft Hackle combines the proven silhouette of the pheasant tail with two key upgrades:
- A vibrant hot spot at the thorax. This small, bright collar acts as a powerful visual trigger, drawing strikes from curious or otherwise hesitant fish.
- A durable copper wire rib. This not only protects the delicate pheasant tail fibers but also adds a subtle flash and segmentation that screams "food!"
How to Fish It:
The beauty of the soft hackle is its versatility.
- The Classic Swing: Cast across and slightly downstream, let the fly swing across the current on a tight line. The strikes are often unmistakable.
- As a Dropper: Use it as the top or middle fly in a Euro nymphing or indicator rig. It will attract fish to your entire setup.
- Drift and Twitch: Dead-drift it through a run and give it small twitches to imitate a struggling insect.
Whether you're new to the art of swinging flies or a seasoned angler looking for a proven producer, the Hot Spot Pheasant Tail Soft Hackle is a must-have addition to your fly box. Stock up today and discover the magic of the soft hackle.
