Soft Hackle Stone

As we get ready for late winter and early spring fishing, stones fly nymphs, of all shapes, sizes and colors come into play. This would be one of them. Relatively easy to tie, materials are readily at hand, other than this particular style of dubbing, but substitute. 
Come on, have some flair, create your own. That is what fly tying is all about.
