Change in tying sequence from the vid I saw, since, as with with Humpies, I can never get the right distance when folding the deer hair tips over. hook – Dai Riki 305 #18 thread - Danville 6/0 red tail – mallard flank body – tying thread shellback/feelers – deer hair bleached hackle – “pseudo cree” (no kidding, that’s what it’s called; pretty much a brown cast grizzly) mash barb, start thread, wrap to point above barb measure (shank length) some mallard flank fibers; tie in/trim clean, stack, measure (shank length) some deer hair; tie in, wrap butts to tail give a slight twist to the butts, pull forward, tie down/trim tie in hackle wrap, tie off/trim, half hitch x 2, SHHAN Regards, Scott Edited September 15, 2020 by SBPatt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dave G. 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2017 Cool fly, I like it. If I fished midge drys I'd tie some up, I might anyway as an emerger ( it struck me maybe switch out the hackle for peacock herl for my situation) . With different coloring and sizing to fit the hatch it might make a good Mayfly emerger too. Well anyway, nice fly ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
