Yeah brain fart, peacock thorax, wire abdomen

I use ultra wire size BR for size 18 to 14

I usually use the gray speckled white feathers from the partridge. Kind of
a royal coachman color combo.

Willi,

Thanks for the info. With this dry - soft hackle dropper, do you take most
of the fish on the dry or soft hackle?

Thanks,
JT

Had a blast. Welcome aboard. It's fly tying season now, no?

Got any good patterns to share?

For about 75% of my fishing this season I fished a dry caddis with a
soft hackle dropper.

Caddis
Body: yellowish dubbing
Wing: light elk tied slightly longer than a EHC
Hackle: heavily hackled either with Cree or Brown and Grizzly mix

Soft hackle
Body: red wire
Abdomen: peacock
Hackle: partridge

Versatile combination. You can fish it dead drift, swing it or (my
favorite) bounce the dry across the surface with the soft hackle
trailing behind.

PS I did find a small piece of the "better" foam you talk about in a
package I got. It is black and it makes a killer beetle imitation.

You can see the beetle in the corner of this fishes mouth.

How high is that lake? It is beautiful. I like fishing mountain lakes.
Most of what we do is river and stream fishing, but I find the lakes
really interesting. I wish we had more.
