Tying in Soft Hackle

[Larry S.]

Someone a couple days ago asked how to tie in soft hackle. I don't remember who it was and I can't find it on the site.

Anyway, I was going to refer them to Mike Hogue's site at

Hope this helps.

Thanks, I found several different methods for tying them in and deleted my post. If you're interested, here is the link for a unique way of tying in and hackling both dry and wet flies (the wet fly sequence of photos is after the dry fly sequence):

Though, I found that for smaller wet flies, you need to tie the partridge feather in by the tip, so you get the shortest barbules for your collar.
