CDC Rusty Emerger Freak

Heres a CDC Rusty Emerger i tied....on the bend of the hook.

Enjoy!

 

p.s: you have no idea how hard it is to whip finish when your tying like that

Interesting tie, definitely would require a larger whip finish tool or long fingers.

What is the thought behind tying an emerger this way, or was it just to do it?

 

[smallieFanatic 0]

the latter

Me and Brianbrown75 were discussing it and i thought, what da heck? i'll try it.

Looks kinda weird, doesn't it?

Long version: there is no thing more rebellius then young men, tools and some iron :shocking:

Short version: one word, no to words... youre mad

 

I hope you know i still mean this in a good way

Basically a para adam

You need:

Dry fly hook size 14-22

grizzly hackle

grey dubbing

take your hook and place it upside down in the vice or sideways,wrap thread onto the curve of the hook, take some grizzly hackle fibers and tie them on the bend. The take another piece of grizzly hackle and tie that on parachute style wrap it on the curve just like a para adams. Now go towards the eye of the hook and tie in some more grizzly fibers as a tail. Dub your body and whip finish. The point of the hook should be where the wing and hackle are. The wing from the first stel should be pointing up
