I missed a step! blink.gif

 

Trim foam strips, 3 on top to hook bend. 1 on bottom trim right off. 2 on bottom/sides to hook point.

 

Can a moderator add that to the end of the tying instructions? dunno.gif

Thanks Will.

 

Grease up the Hair and body and it darn near "hovers". Don't grease it and it still floats well.

 

Makes a good indicator for a dropper too!

A good job. Reminds me of when I learned how to tie the fly in a class that Gary taught. The man had some really great ideas. Boy do i miss him.

 

Also works innsize 6 for smallies.

headbang.gif It is a great pattern. I remember a few years ago a bunch of us were getting together once a week to tie flies. My friend shows up and wants to teach us this pattern. We all gave him a hard time kidding him pretty bad when I finished mine I gave it to him. About a year later we were fishing on Nesowhunk Lake and he was catching fish one right after the other. Yeah you guessed it. The Halo Emerger by Gary LaFontaine. After about 20 fish I asked if he had an extra one. That's what the fish were hitting I tied one on and look out. I now have plently in my vest and have used then may times.
