Starling and Olive Soft Hackle

[@comesahorseman]

Nicely tied! 👍

Lovely tying. I love all traditional spiders. :-)

I've tied a very similar fly with a biot body for years. This pattern hunts.

Hans, size 12 for midges? I would think 18-24 instead if possible. I'm very interested in small soft hackles but have a hard time finding soft hackle feathers small enough; would love to see you make a video of a 22 or smaller soft hackle.

Starling is basically all I tie for 95% of the soft hackles I swing - and there are sufficient smaller sizes on a Starling skin that doesn't break the bank

Gonna give that a try. Thanks.

Nice fly, Where is your Law vise. I would give a lot to get one. I can't find them anymore. I found a couple in England that were still new. I didn't have the money at the time for the purchase. I couldn't justify the money either since I have more vises than I can use, since I only have two hands! All the best ant thanks for sharing. Sean

LAW vise is safely attached to my tying bench. I still use it but am testing out other vises too.
