I really dig blogs and websites that concentrate on a niche within fly fishing and lately I've spent quite a bit of time on Neil Norman's Soft Hackles, Tight Lines. Neil is creating an online resource on soft hackle flies that is concise, highlights the history of these ever useful flies, and the macro photographs of the patterns are great as well.
Check out Neil's latest soft hackle recipe for Syl's Nymph and scroll back to see the dozens of other patterns which are chronicled as well on his website.

That fly looks like a killer. Thanks for highlighting this blog. I like to fish a soft hackle as a trailer off a weighted nymph a lot. I'll definitely check it out.

I lost probably my best rainbow of the year Wednesday using a soft hackle fly. It is one awesome fly. The legs are the key to this flies success. thanks for sharing
