Fly Tying a Soft hackle emerger with Barry Ord Clarke

One of my favorite Autumn patterns to fish. A soft hackle emerger that incorporates some classic materials and a couple of useful techniques. If you pull it through still water or swing it down and across stream you won't be disappointed.

Love this natural and will try to replicate. Thanks for your fishing advice and mastery in tying.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks John, good luck with it.

[@georgeallen8781]

your videos are brilliant, I'm absolutely hooked (haha) What I would really like to be included when you're doing a particular fly, tell us why you're doing it. What is the habitat, what season? How come a boatman fly can be so heavy, to my admittedly very untried eye?

[@Thefeatherbender]

Great suggestion!

[@lastcoyote2355]

What a great wet fly . Going to tie a few so I can try them tomorrow.👍👍. As always thanks

[@Thefeatherbender]

Have fun!

[@graemedawes3746]

Like the tacky wax trick and dubbing tips 👍

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks.

[@comesahorseman]

Well tied, and it should work well! 👍

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks, It does!

[@schmoonkie]

Hello Barry. Just a quick question. What is the particular speckled hen hackle you used on this fly and in what color? Thanks.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Hi, Its just a Indian hen cape that I have had for ages, I can't remember how long I'v had it, maybe 35 years...

[@schmoonkie]

@@Thefeatherbender Thanks Barry. I liked the look of that hackle and could use it on some other flies as well. ( I did look in the index part of your book, but didn't see this fly mentioned. )

[@schmoonkie]

@@Thefeatherbender Thanks Barry, I'll find a match. By the way, I'm on page 55 of your book to tie your Klinkhammer. Nicely photographed with detailed instructions.

[@randellgribben9772]

beautiful fly

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thank you Randell.

[@mikelundrigan2285]

Very nice tie, though I would have saved that floss! I found another way to use hackle fluff and another pattern style to add to my box! Thank you very much!

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks Mike.

[@arthurbi5713]

Perfect! Thanks Barry for sharing.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thank you Arthur.

[@bigdaddy99929]

I love this amazing fly. Thank you Barry!

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks Clyde.

[@BalaguerV]

I will add this emerger to my collection! Simply amazing.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thank you Sebastian, good luck with it.

[@brianfeeney9493]

BRILLIANT Pattern and Instruction !!!! Love Your New Publication ...... BRAVO !!!!! Thank You for sharing Your Expertise !!!!! ✨

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks Brian, so pleased that you like it.

[@DeeMoback]

I have had some increased demand for reversed hackle ...... my customers say they catch more fish .... I personally don't know that....I do know I have increased request for reversed hackle

[@Thefeatherbender]

Hi Jay, I don't think so. We have been fishing with reveres hackle patterns for 100s of years, but they will catch more if people fish only with them...

[@silvertip8k278]

Nothing like a nice wet fly and a 4 or 5 wt. bamboo rod...I love stack mending similar on Colorado's fall waters after big browns!!! Hope all is well Barry!!

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks Silvertip, all good thanks and I hope the same with you...

[@mikeking453]

One of the best versions

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks Mike.

[@kerrypitt9789]

Nice pattern! That will fish wherever you live near freshwater. Thank you for sharing Barry!!

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks Kerry, good luck with it!

[@starskyarsky8374]

Great looking hook, need to use it. I liked the partridge big mouth nymph. Another great fly 👍

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks Starsky.

[@MyPancho1]

I love the tie AND the gape on that hook! Very Nice, Thanks Barry

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks Gary, yes its a nice hook.

[@ghart91]

I like the way you save the extra parts of feathers and furs. Not wasting.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks Gary.

[@schmoonkie]

Nice fly... and liked the Petitjean vice too ( just ordered mine yesterday ). I think this fly might work in Montana. I'll test it on the Gallatin. Colorado may be a different story. Size 24-26 flies are all the rage currently on the Eagle River. I did order your book from Amazon after watching your video. Thank you.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Hi Schmoonkie, thanks. You won't be disappointed with the vice its a great piece of kit. If you haven't see it its worth watching: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmq6pJ54l9Sil7c Let me know what you think of the book when you get it.

[@schmoonkie]

@@Thefeatherbender Thanks. I've seen that video before. I also watched Marc tie flies on his vice on KZbin. Your book should arrive today. You explained the reasons what sets your book apart from other books on the topic. That's why I bought your book. :-)

[@schmoonkie]

@@Thefeatherbender The book looks great. Beautifully photographed. I like the organization and the video links. I like the material references as well. I see that you're big on Mustad hooks. Though they're available in the US, I don't often see them referenced in fly recipes. So perhaps it would have helped to reference either similar hooks and/or reference the hook's properties ( e.g. 3X long shank, 2X heavy wire ). I'm building a database for myself, so that I'm not locked into a particular hook brand. As is, I have many thousands of hooks already. But a Google search helps me locate the hook I need to tie a particular fly for which I already have a similar hook. ( As for my new Petitjean vice, it's beautiful. I'll be playing with it when my wife is not around.... :-) ) I also own Regal and Renzetti vises. My favorite vise to date is my custom J-vice from South Africa--beautifully made and highly functional ( www.jvice.com ).
