Baetis Soft Hackle - Rick Wollum Fly Tying Tutorial Video

[@jozefkrivan3522]

Thank you! There are many videos showing flies but your explanation of all small points help understand how and what to do to do it well. Best regards to you!

Nice fly. Having ten thumbs, I am always amazed to see others' ability to keep scissors in hand throughout tying.

[@TheWeeklyFly]

You and me both! -H

Wow...the techniques you demonstrated for managing and installing the soft-hackle were new to me and look very promising. Specifically, the way you trimmed the tip before tying it down, swept the barbules away from the eye, then stripping barbules off the shaft before tying it in. Those methods alone were worthwhile and it sure looks like a fishy fly to me. Thanks.

Beautiful job. Your soft hackle laid back perfectly. It is nerve racking tying live in front of others and you did remarkably well. Thanks!

Nice tie. I've been fishing similar biot bodied softies for a few years and trout love 'em. I add a little superglue under the biot, though, otherwise the trout's teeth tend to shred the body pretty quickly.

[@TheWeeklyFly]

Sounds great!
