I finally got around to sending out flies for the 1,000 Followers contest. One of the winners requested some size 10 soft hackles for bluegills, crappie, and bass. I did a little digging of the “Best soft hackles for panfish” type — and the overwhelming favorite soft hackles for panfish were simple, traditional old favorites like the Partridge and (insert silk color here.) But I found another pattern that I’d never heard of that tickled my fancy: the Gill Candy. It’s basically a Partridge and Chartreuse with a gold tag and a dubbed thorax. So I took to the vise. And here it is. Betcha steelhead would like it, too.

Nice! Modern spin on an old classic.
It certainly caught me!
Nice tie Steve, would probably work on trout during a hatch.
Sure! A classic attractor fly.
Looks like a winner to me!
Alton’s in the house! Everything working now?
Knock on wood. First attempt was today and, although I got the same message about my email address being logged into a different account, it let me in using my password.
Thanks for running interference for me!
