Orange Shakey Bealy Fall Soft Hackle Wet Fly - (6 Pack, Sz 10)

About This Product

  • Legendary Western Soft Hackle Pattern — The Shakey Bealy (also known as Shakey Beeley) originated at Blue Ribbon Flies in West Yellowstone, Montana, designed by the late Nick Nicklas; adapted from eastern March Brown soft hackles to target fall-run browns and rainbows on the Madison River in Yellowstone National Park, this modern classic has been a go-to wet fly for western anglers for decades
  • Powerful Attractor Soft Hackle — A highly effective searching and attractor pattern with a buggy profile and pulsating movement that draws aggressive strikes from trout feeding subsurface; excels when no specific hatch is on, or as a general imitator of various emerging insects during key seasons
  • Premium Soft Hackle Construction — Hand-tied with quality soft game bird hackle (often partridge or similar) for lifelike undulating action when swung or drifted, plus durable dubbing body and often flash accents; fishes subsurface with natural sink rate and enticing wiggle that triggers opportunistic takes
  • Versatile for Fall & Year-Round Fishing — Excels when swung down-and-across or drifted on freestone rivers, tailwaters, and big western waters like the Madison; deadly for brown, rainbow, and cutthroat trout during fall runs into Yellowstone, but effective spring through fall in mountain streams, Great Lakes tributaries for steelhead, and beyond
  • Must-Have Soft Hackle in Any Wet Fly Box — A proven fish-catcher praised as one of the top soft hackle patterns for western waters; its simple yet deadly attractor design delivers consistent action during low-light periods, October conditions, or when trout are feeding subsurface, making it an essential fly for serious anglers targeting opportunistic or migratory trout.
