P.Dieter 0 Report post Posted July 26, 2011 Brass Assed Emerger Hook: Tiemco 205 BL Tail: Partridge Fibers Abdomen: Copper Wire Wing: CDC Thorax: Dubbing Wing Case: Turkey Tail (coated) I designed this emerger to be used primarily as a dropper fly off of a dry. It has been very productive for me for over a decade. It also ties well on a scud hook. I used to include partridge legs until I got the nor vise but now I find bushy dubbing works just fine and reduces a step. Start Thread just forward of the hump and wrap back with smooth thread base Tie in Partridge fiber tail and wrap by forward of hump (still smooth) Lay copper wire along top of shank and wrap all the way back and then up forward again smooth and tight Wrap wire tightly forward and tie off on front of hump Tie in tip of CDC puff (I’ve used a large CDC feather here on a large size 8 hook for instructional clarity, puffs work in the usual size 14 and smaller) Fold CDC back and tie down into a loop Add dubbing, since I have a nor vise I use a loose touch dub technique finish off thorax leaving generous room for the head and wing case. Without touch dubbing you can just brush out the fibers on the thorax with a velcro tool Tie in turkey feather that has been treated with your choice of glue (I use water based head cement) Trim wing case with a “V” notch at the base of the CDC wing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
