I already have
the book Two Centuries of Soft-Hackled Flies by Sylvester Nemes but would
like yet another

This is not a pattern book, But Dave Hughes wrote a book called Wet Flies
that
was copyrighted back in 1995. It was responsible for my addiction to tying
and
fishing soft hackle flies. Don't forget to tie a few of the pattern called
the
red ass. There is something about the combination of peacock and partridge
with
a little of the color red thrown in that a lot of fish seem to find
attractive.
Even with the old style of soft hackle flies I sometimes have about three
fibers of z-lon as a mini trailing shuck. I have conned myself into thinking
that this sometimes makes a difference.
