Soft Hackle Mayfly

From South of North Fly Tying:
“The combination of a wing case and some soft hackle for legs and movement make it a fantastic step up for the beginner fly tyer looking to move onto something a bit more difficult than the Hare and Copper a lot of us start off with here in NZ. As well as that the trout seem to like them so why wouldn’t you want a few in your fly box.”

Materials list:

HOOK: Kamasan b110 size 16-12 (you can go larger or smaller if you want though)
THREAD: Semperfli Classic Waxed Thread Dark Mocha Brown
DUBBING: SLF fox squirrel
PHEASANT
RIBBING: 0.1mm Semperfli Copper Wire
HACKLE: Natural Hen Saddle Patch Soft Hackle (speckled grey is a good substitute as well if cant find natural)
