SBPatt 0 Report post Posted March 14, 2015 Lashing out as Winter refuses to release it's icy grip, decided to tie some summer flies. Doesn't take long to fill up the box with these. hook - Dai Riki 320 #14 thread - MFC 8/0 sand rib - tying thread body - dubbing tan/hare's ear/antron mix hackle - barred cream wing/head - Congo Hair tan legs - centipede small barred tan/black mash barb, start thread one eye width back from eye, leave tag end long (for rib) tie in hackle (dull side up) over front of hook; wrap thread to bend dub thread/dub body wrap hackle back to the bend; capture tip with rib rib through hackle; tie off/trim trim hackle flat on top tie in CH; fold over and tie back on itself, creating a little head tie in legs; half hitch x 2, SHHAN trim legs and wing (even with bend); push the wing down a bit at the base with your thumbnail to widen the profile you can leave it like that, but since these bugs are aquatically challenged, flush-floaters, cleaning out the undercarriage gets it down in the film Regards, Scott Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
