MT Soft Hackle Pink

The MT Soft Hackle – Pink is a simple yet deadly wet fly pattern designed to mimic emerging midges, mayflies, and attractor-style subsurface insects. With its soft, flowing hackle and subtle flash, this fly excels in clear to slightly stained water, particularly during hatch transitions when fish are keying in just below the surface. The light pink body acts as a subtle trigger color, offering just enough contrast to draw attention without spooking selective trout.

Tied with sparse materials and a soft hen hackle collar, this pattern breathes naturally in the water, giving the impression of life even on a dead drift. It's highly effective when swung through seams and tailouts, or fished just under the surface during evening rises or active emergence periods.

To fish the MT Soft Hackle – Pink effectively, try swinging it on a light leader with a down-and-across presentation, or fish it as a dropper behind a dry fly. It's especially effective in spring creeks and tailwaters, where subtlety and movement can outproduce more complex patterns.
