    My furnace went out last week. Had to install a new one. No fun on the wallet......

    I did strip one side. I can reduce the number of turns and thin out the throat hackle also.

    First one with materials I had on hand

    I currently use Uni 8/0 but was looking for something smaller. What are some smaller threads you use?
  11. prairiedrifter
    I have whiting, brahma, Herbert/miner and coq de Leon hen. Whiting has the smallest feathers with the Herbert/miner not far behind. My CDL and Brahma necks are shorter but can tie small flies also.
  12. prairiedrifter
    Whiting hen necks. I really like the CDL speckled ones.

    So is it just a loop wing emerger? Not seeing why it wouldn't be an easy tie. Maybe I'm missing something? It is a very nice looking fly though.

    You can wash and dry the feathers before you pin. I would only wash if the feathers are very dirty. Yes, skin facing out. I have used borax as a bird skin preservative for 35 years.

    Remove ALL meat and fat, including all wing bones/meat. Rub with borax and pin it open skin side up on cardboard to dry.
