Chase Creek 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2007 I like small soft hackles tied on scud hooks, but hardly ever go smaller than 18 cuz of the "can't see what I'm doing" thing. Hare's ear soft hackle, partridge & _________. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ashbourn 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2007 This is a simple / amazing emerger pattern. Mink Tail Dubbed Body CDC Wing extra heavy point up and towards the eye a little. Paul Weamer added the Mink tail and it sinks quicker then antron and I like it's movement. Joe Fox Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
troutchaser30 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2007 How about some olive emergers or small beadheaded pheasant tails? I like to tie and fish beadheaded pheasant tails on the curved hooks, especially when collared with a nice soft hackle! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dfield 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2007 I noticed that your from St louis so I would recomend a #20 glowball (egg) it is the perfect hook for them. It is a deadly fly on the hard hit winter season C&R fish at Montaulk, Mermac and Bennit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
