Isonychia (Slate Drake) Soft Hackle, Holsinger's Fly Shop

In this video I continue series with the Drake flies. It's spring time now and the hatches are just getting started which means the Iso's and Green Drakes are right around the corner. This pattern is a variation of one I seen tied by Nicole March of thequiltedtyer.... Nicole is an awesome tyer and loves tying soft hackles. Go over and check her out.
I hope you enjoy this series of flies. They have been a lot of fun for me to tie. If you need any of the materials to tie this fly you can find them on the website www.holsingers... or by clicking on the material list below. Thanks for watching!!! -Shawn

A nice tie. I will make a few up and give them a go next week down-under in NZ. I have no chickabou so I will use pheasant which should give a similar look. Thanks and stay safe.
