24 julio, 2013Hi Ty,
When you get to the smaller hooks this is going to happen especially when you are catching trout as large as this, Daiichi and Kamasan are the same so you can’t go far wrong with them…Sorry about the delay in getting back to you as I’ve been away…
All the very best Davie

24 julio, 2013hi davie i feel you could improve this pattern by using split thread,dubbing with chopped up cdc fibres thus making a more effective pattern,making it appear more like an emerger would look in the surface film,apart from that a very nice pattern

24 julio, 2013Hi davie,
Excellent pattern once again…. just tied half a dozen and they were an instant hit at my local lake…. my friend was forthunate enough to land a 10 pounder on a size 16 which was a miracle…. the kamasan hooks I use seem to straighen after a couple or even obe fish which is disappointing!! Do you know of any hooks from any other company’s that are much stronger? Or is this just common place with most small dry patterns?
Many thanks
Ty

24 julio, 2013Hi Eric Long,
That’s a great idea as it would certainly work a treat, it would even help to strengthen the overall fly..
Well done…
All the very best Davie

24 julio, 2013idea i got for this pattern is to split the cdc wing with a thorax cover and set it with a tiny bit of diamond hard so the wing lies spent,the draw back is it s hard to see but if you fish another dry in front that does the job,i got that idea from you when you tied the olive dry with the cdc wing and u split it with foam,a great fly,thanks davie for all your great tips that help us all catch more fish

24 julio, 2013Hello Davie. Glad to see you back mate. Great looking emerger for the box. If I’m right Davie is that a size 10 scud hook you used.
Best Regards, Ken

24 julio, 2013Hello Davie, Great fly as usual. You are an excellent fly tyer. You failed to say the Hook size you were using and how small it can be tied. You most always say because with the camera it is impossible to know. Thanks ATB Sean

24 julio, 2013another amazing fly! If you have a chance to make a video showing your methods of preparing the materials you use when tying flies, it would be much appreciated.
