djtrout 0 Report post Posted June 30, 2014 talking about being into wings; this year I've gotten into emergers. Never have before. Started with BWO, expanded from there. Semi-wings I suppose. For a streamer/nymph guy, I am busting out this year with serious dry effort. Oh, and tiny guys. Got to try those little bitty things. Problem is in order to tie on a 26 or 28, I need to carry a magnifying glass to the stream. Guess I'll just do it. Although, I think they make threading accessory tools that small, I'll have to check in on that, because I'm not going to try to attach a 28 fly with my naked eyes.

vicrider 0 Report post Posted June 30, 2014 djtrout, if you have some decent CDC (not all the stuff they send you is) take a look at an emerger/dry called the IOBO. It's an all CDC fly that has been something I've read on other boards is a very good fly for trout on and just under the surface. I've not had a chance to try one but hope to yet this year if health allows me travel. We have nothing for trout near us and travel has been a problem of late. Â My "copy/paste" is screwed but if you google the one of Hans Weilenmann, he is one of the best in the country. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DavidHE 0 Report post Posted July 1, 2014 I hate to see a great trout swap go unfilled, so I'm in. Googled the Grannom Caddis, looking at images there is a big variety. So I will tie that. Aug 25 due date will give me time to test the pattern in the Sierra waters. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wschmitt3 0 Report post Posted July 3, 2014 How about size 12 Adams for the Slate Drake? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wschmitt3 0 Report post Posted July 4, 2014 I don't have enough grizzly hackle that is sized right for a dozen Adams. If it sounds good I could tie up size 16 black x-caddis. I was also going to tie up some Isonychia Emergers I could do either for the swap. I was looking at doing the pattern Tightlines Production has on vimeo (http://vimeo.com/44697346). Â Which ever works. Â Â Edit- I would do the emerger with one less wrap than this one. The x-caddis would be a little more refined than the one pictured. This one is one that has been fished some and was one that I tied very early in my tying. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vicrider 0 Report post Posted July 5, 2014 I'll get mine in the mail Monday. I'm not as happy with them as I could be. Took my time and took a razor to more than one of them before I stuck it in the cork. One set is using the Mallard wings and it was never an easy chore for me. Even when they came out fairly good I never really liked them, but since many fish are caught on that style without any wings they should be fine. The second set I did with hackle tip wings and I like them a whole lot better even if they're not the classic design that the Mallard wings are.
