Early fall runners tend to shy away from the big gaudy flies that work so well later in the run, and often times a more natural fly will be most effective on those big fish. The Baker's Hole Soft Hackle was designed around this premise, and it has delivered a lot of big fish over the years in just this circumstance. The buggy body with just a hint of flash seems to be too much for those big fish to resist, even when they have the best intentions of laying low!
