Thank you! These videos are really concise and informative.

great video brother! love tying and fishing the soft hackles. time to add a light two hander to my quiver.

[@meredithlevi]

I’m impressed that is some fast water. I always have a hard time when the rapid is faster than I’m used to.

Soft hackles are so effective. It would have been helpful to see how he was rigged with the “O” ring & shown us the actual flies he was using.

will do for future videos

[@steveg8443]

Thanks Simon. Great video. What weight two hander are you using there, and what weight tippet to fish those little flies? I would have thought that it would require a heavier tippet to avoid popping off fish, but looks like you were getting away with it!

[@joeduca8582]

Awesome! I learned a lot about water type and presentation for fishing soft hackles. How do you determine the length of the tippet from the ring to the point fly and the length of the dropper? Thanks.

[@newflyfisher]

Depends but good rule of thumb is 18 inches

Some of the B roll in this will make for a confused learner. Talking about swinging with a two hander and then B roll of a single hand rod, with streamer retrieve. Not to say you cannot do the latter with a two hander but it’s not the same. Just odd B roll usage, no need.
