Tying Soft Hackle Flies

Thx. I'm gonna have to try these. I've been hording the last of my real deal stash.

I might have a chart that compares colors to persalls. I’ll look later

Was that at the Stagecoach bar?

This happened in 1994 so don't remember the name. We were looking for a meal and there was a bar there and it was on the main drag across from a motel. Our server was a crusty old gal who said she used to work at the motel but got tired of shaking pecker tracks out of the sheets. When asked where the restroom was she said she'd take us there herself but the doctor said she shouldn't lift anything heavy. We were laughing because of her and the angler at the bar both. We had a designated driver so we were having a merry old time and things got a little blurry before we left. Lucky our driver was sober as he had to swerve on a curve to miss a black bear in the middle of the road. Fun memory.

I'm going to apologize for going off topic with my old escapades. I have a good book by Dave Hughes on Wet Flies that includes soft hackles, flymphs etc. It's my go to book on the subject.
