The One Feather Wet Fly

October 12, 2018 Panfish On The Fly

A simple but effective pattern tied with a single feather.

This fly could not be any simpler to tie, and the material list could not be shorter. It consists of one feather and of course some tying thread. The tail, body, and hackle all come from a single feather from the body or rump of a pheasant.

I first crossed paths with this fly after reading my copy of Flies for Bass and Panfish by Dick Stewart and Farrow Allen. It checked all the boxes for me on what makes an effective bluegill fly.
