Hare's Ear Plus Soft Hackles

A place to discuss the collecting and tying of classic flies, the tyers who made them famous, the tools, materials and techniques they used as well as the waters they were designed for. While classic is generally used to describe old things, classic is also used in the sense of first class or in the highest form. Therefore a fully dressed Salmon Fly, or a Carrie Stevens Streamer are just as much classics as a Chernobyl Ant would be. Enjoy the forum.

I often like to use Hare's Ear + on soft hackle bodies and thorax as I think the. Antron in the dubbings add a little sparkle and can hold a little air bubbles.
