Klinkhamer

2013.04.dryfly.me.klinkhamer

Hook: Partridge Klinkhamer X-treme #14
Thread: Sheer 14/0 Brown
Body:  Wapsi SLF Squirrel – Natual Fox
Thorax: Peacock
Wing-post: Poly-yarn
Hackle: Whiting

Up to when it is time to tie in the hackle this pattern is very simple, but once  you get the tie-in of the hackle around the wing-post it comes down to avoiding trapping too much hackle beneath the thread.

The poly-yarn gives good visual aid to the fly and if you look from underneath it you can see the footprint it will give on the surface. A great pattern that can be varied with colors and scruffiness to achive different behaviour.

CDC & Deer – vibrant body

2013.04.dryfly.me.deer_cdc_long

Hook: DR 305 #10
Thread: UNI 6/0 Brown
Body:  Single Olive Green CDC feather, wrapped around the hook
Wing: Hareline Premo Deer – Olive

Experimenting on the CDC & Deer pattern – found a CDC feather with long fibres that should give a lot of life on the surface. Have not fished with this one yet, but this should work as a atractor on the surface.
