Soft Hackle Saturday – Partridge and…
Green or Yellow. Both very simple ties and can be tied with a thread, floss, dubbing, or sewing thread body and your choice of thorax dubbing (hare’s mask our choice here). A quick and easy tie for those wanting to start out their soft hackle game this summer. The color choices are limited by the rainbow!

Hey guys, this looks nice, fun to tie too. What hook type and size are these? I want to start messing around with some soft hackle patterns here and there.
Hey Paul,
This specific hook is a TMC 3761 size 14 nymph hook. Wet flies are extremely fun to tie and fish! Hope that helps, here is a link
