A couple very minor mods to Larry Jurgens' cool emerger pattern. Tied here as a Green Drake; change colors/sizes (down-scaled, this could serve as a Flav) to suit your needs.
hook - Dai Riki 280 #10
thread - Danville 6/0 olive
shuck - Congo Hair brown
rib - Uni-Stretch yellow
abdomen - Uni-Stretch olive
wing - hen dun
thorax - dubbing olive
hackle - grizzly dyed olive
mash barb, start thread, tie in CH, fold and wrap to bend; trim
tie in Uni-Stretch
was going to use olive for the body but I ran out so I just ran an olive marker over the yellow
wrap a tapered body; tie off/trim
counterwrap rib; tie off/trim
take a pair of hen hackle tips (= to gap width), put them together with the tips curving away from each other, measure for length (shank), tie in at 3/4 mark
tie in hackle by tip
dub thread/dub thorax
stroke hackle back and wrap forward; tie off/trim, half hitch x 2, SHHAN
Regards,
Scott
