OK I have seen some soft hackle flies that are similar and I just tied this fly because I wanted to see what it would look like using the gold flat tinsel with the green floss and some duck feathers for hackle.

So what would this fly be called? I know that we should know what we are trying to do, but many times I am just trying to make something (jig or fly) that I think would catch fish. I like to come up with my own things even though I know none of this is new and most likely anything I can come up with to tie has been done before I still like just jumping in. I like using my fisherman's eye to tie a fly or jig that both fishermen and fish will like.

However I would still love to know if this has a name.



Thanks,
