ChalkstreamAngler 0 Report post Posted May 14, 2004 I carry Pheasant Tail Nymphs (regular and goldhead) in various sizes from 20 to 12 for subsurface fishing. A freshwater shrimp (scud for those of you in the US) imitation - usually heavily weighted). As for the dries, hmmmmm........ I personally like parachutes to represent the ephemeroptera at the dun/final emerger stage and I tie these with the relevant number of microfibbet tails (2 or 3) and a grey or white wing of siliconised polypropelene yarn as appropriate. Then I simply add a hackle of correct size and colour and dub a slender body of Fly Rite dubbing in the correct colour. These I tie to represent all of the ephemeroptera that I might encounter on the Chalkstreams of Southern England which means sizes from 22 to 10 (with the majority being 18's and 16's). As for the emergers, I like the hare's ear "F" Fly devised by Marjan Fratnick and I also tie reversed parachutes (inspired by Roy Christie) with polyarn wings etc etc to represent all the flies as above. Probably more flies than I need but I just enjoy tying them! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
