Fly Tying

Here is a wet fly pattern—an emerger or whatever you prefer to call it—that works exceptionally well in these conditions. The body is made with pearl tinsel and in combination with partridge seems to be super efficient on rivers with slow running waters.

Materials:

• Hook: Daiichi 1310 #14 (pinch the barb before fishing)
• Thread: Sumo 30DEN A1 color (for an invisible underbody)
• Body: Tinsel in pearl -A4 color- from TroutLine
• Thorax: A pinch of pure squirrel dubbing – natural color
• Hackle: Partridge feathers ( neck or body )

Tying Tips:

• Use wax to provide grip when covering the body with the pearl tinsel.
• Use the grey squirrel dubbing to provide support for the hackle.
