The Magic Dun Soft Hackle – Fly Fish Food

Dry flies are designed to be fished on the top of the water. Dry flies float either on their own, or with the assistance of a floatant such as silicon based gel, or dry fly shake. They can be fished in rivers, streams, ponds, and lakes alike. Many fish will rise the surface to inspect a dry fly and decide if they want to strike at it or not.

Ephemerella subvaria is one of the most storied hatches in American fly fishing lore and this lovely little soft hackle bead head wet fly pattern is designed to fish the hatch wet if the fish are being a bit picky on the surface. The wet fly pattern called the Flymph was reputedly coined in the forties before the term emerger came into parlance. Whatever the origins, these flies work well and are wonderful to fish.
