Old soft hackle flies. There is something about the elegance of these flies with their minimal materials that continues to speak to me.

  1. John, I just wanted to say Hi. We are now living in Ellensburg, WA and I drive over the Yakima River every day on my way to check on the house construction. So, naturally I’m looking forward to fishing it. But I want to let you know how much I enjoy your blogs. They are informative and well done.
    Happy New Year to you and Karen.
