Description
Soft Hackle Wire Body – a sleek, durable soft hackle with natural drift
The Soft Hackle Wire Body is a modern take on a classic wet fly pattern, built for durability, subtle flash, and exceptional sink rate. The slim wire body creates a clean, segmented profile that imitates emerging mayflies, midges, and other aquatic insects with lifelike precision. Perfect for swinging, dead drifting, or pairing with a dry fly, these fly fishing flies are a staple for technical trout waters.
Design / Features
The Soft Hackle Wire Body features a finely ribbed wire body that adds weight and segmentation without bulk, allowing the fly to sink quickly while maintaining a natural silhouette. The soft hen hackle collar pulses in the current, imitating emerging insects in their most vulnerable stage. Its minimal yet elegant construction makes it highly durable and versatile for different fishing situations.
When & Where to Use
The Soft Hackle Wire Body excels in tailwaters, freestones, and spring creeks year-round. It’s especially effective during mayfly and midge hatches, or as a subtle searching pattern when trout are feeding subsurface. Fish it on the swing, dead drift it through riffles, or use it as a dropper behind a dry for delicate presentations.
