Hook: Partridge Klinkhamer X-treme #14
Thread: Sheer 14/0 white
Body: Fly-Rite #18 Rusty Orange
Thorax: Peacock
Wingpost: Poly yarn
Wing: Whiting Bronze
Time to tie up a row or two of the Klinkhamer (a good article about it here), a good patter for trout or grayling. The original pattern has peacock for thorax, but I also tie up with dubbing in different colors.
Other variants:
Hook: Knapek Midge Pupae #12
Thread: Sheer 14/0 Blaock
Tail: Mallard Flank
Body: Fly-Rite Extra Fine Poly Rust
Rib: Sybai Holgraphic Black
Thorax: Fly-Rite Extra Fine Poly Rust
Hackle: Whiting Bronze
Wing Post: Dust Broom in different colors
I always test out different combination, and again today: the dust broom have got some very long and light fibers that needed to be tested out in all color combination to see how they come together.

Green:
Blue:
All together:
Hook: Gamakatsu: C12-BM #26
Thread: UNI Trico 17/0
Body: Hends Superfine
Thorax: Fly-Rite Extra Fine Poly Rust
Wing: Wapsi Polypropylene, Whiting Hackle
Another one for a swap targeting Caenis. This time a parachute emerger on one of my favorite tiny hooks: the gamakatsu C12-BM, great big eye that really helps when tying it on a 7x tippet.
Hook: Knapek Midge Pupae #12
Thread: Sheer 14/0 Red
Body: Wapsi Rabbit Dark Olive
Rib: UTC Wee Wool Yarn Red
Thorax: SLF Spikey Rabbit
Wing: CDC Green
A spikey emerger that sits low in the water. I have not tried the yarn as ribbing before, but it was light and I needed something that wouldn’t weigh the fly down too much.
Thread: Sheer 14/0 White
Hook: Kamasan B100 #12
Body: Polishquills Stripped Peacock Eye Orange
Thorax: SLF Squirrel, Whiting Hackle
Wing: White CDC
Variant of the emerger from the other day, but this time with a additional hackle on the thorax
