The Hackle Fly is most popular for fishing Trout in shallow streams. It is also used to lure Char, Bass and Panfish. When this fly is weighted and it swings in the water or hangs in a dead drift, it resembles insects which are struggling just below the surface. The hackle simulates the activity of thrashing legs and beating wings. The Hackle fly was brought to the Anglers attention first in 1496 in a book called "The Treatise of Fishing with an Angle" authored by Dame Juliana Berners. It was then reaffirmed in Sylvester Nemes’ book “The Soft Hackle Fly Addict”. More details...You can earn 280 PZ Pearl Points on this product!

THE COLOR OF FLIES:
Your selection of a fishing fly is largely dependent upon the water in which you are fishing. Many believe it is good to match the overall color of the riverbed to you fly of choice.
For example, a brown river calls for a dark brown or black fly. Rivers that flow off bare rock often run clear with a blue or green cast would call for a fly of similar coloring such as a Green Highlander. Brighter flies are used on a cold day in the early spring and late autumn. However, other lore says to use a local fishermen’s recommendation as he knows his waters best.
We say try the whole lot and see what works best for you. The sames goes for your pillow selection. Grouping a few together is sure to make a nice focal point in your seating area.
