The Bradshaw's Fancy is a wonderful soft hackle fly that has been around for many years. Simple and elegant but it comes to life in the water and still works for trout and panfish. It's a great soft hackle to tie if you are looking to fill a box with effective soft hackle patterns. Plus, it a a joy to tie. Straight forward and no nonsense fly tying. Tie a dozen for your box and get them wet this spring. You'll be glad you did. - Enjoy
