So, I have to start tying them tonight (not bad, a week before I am leaving) - and to be honest with you, I have no clue how to tie one. Sure I've tied some soft hackles on my possie buggers, but I wouldn't call them nicely tied by any means.
I have been poking around the web lately - and specifically today - and found a few really nice patterns. Check these out below. I will be tying some of these tonight.
The Flymph
I have posted this pattern before on my site - just never got around to tying it. I like the color and the bugginess (if that is a word). Plus, I don't think it is too difficult to tie.
March Brown Soft Hackle
Easy tie - and the March Browns are popping right now in OR!
Soft Hackle Hare's Ear
Quincy Soft Hackle
These are just a few that caught my eye - I will be tying a bunch in the next few days - I will post some pics of what I have tied up.

yum yujm!!!!
In NC soft hackles are one of the most productive flies. Especially before a caddis hatch. The neat thing is you'll notice too large fish will take the smallest hackles. I've had big trout hit a size 18-20 soft hackle. On the South Holston that's about the only size people fish with or smaller.
