Tip
Tip: Try variations in body material and colour, such as a peacock body or a floss body
How to do it: Test body material and colour variations, including peacock and floss bodies, for soft hackles
Mistake it fixes: Using only one soft hackle body material
Why it works: Body material and colour change profile and flash. Variations let the angler match local insects and water.
When it matters most: Wet fly fishing
