Thorax - Peacock Hearl Hareline Strung Peacock Herl*: In this week’s episode of Tying Tuesdays, watch as Brady ties the Crystal Soft Hackle! This unstoppable soft hackle is a ton of fun to swing during the fall! The Crystal Soft Hackle is a modernized classic. This swung fly is a great option when swinging bugs. Whether you are fishing with a single or two-handed rod this bug deserves to be tied on. It is a lightweight soft hackle that has all the right stuff. Most of the materials are good old classic naturals but the body has been updated to utilize Ice Dubbing. This little touch brings the fly into the 21st century while not sacrificing its fishability. The Crystal Soft Hackle was designed to be fished for Steelhead but works just as well in the Rockies for all other types of trout.
