Long Winged Emerger

Hook: Daiichi 1167 #14
Thread: Sheer 14/0 Yellow
Body: Hareline Hare-Tron Dubbin Pale Yellow, UTC Ultra Wire SM Gun Metal Blue
Thorax: Hareline Hare’s Ear Plus Dubbin Dark Olive
Wing: 3xCDC Dark Olive

This low-hanging emerger is a very good fly to keep when targeting trout: the hook will break the surface tension and sit low in the water while the CDC will keep it afloat. A few drops of floatant (don’t put anything on the body!) will keep this in perfect position. I chose a long and fat wing on this to be able to float it down a river and keep it as low as possible in the water. The white body with the blue rib is a good visual clue, I could go without ribbing to loose some weight, but with the amount of CDC on this fly that should not be needed.

This pattern could do well with a dark body and white CDC wings

Deer & CDC Emerger

Posted on 8 December, 20137 December, 2013 by Håvard Eide cdc deer hareline organza peacock polishquills sheer tmc

Hook: TMC 2457 #14
Thread: Sheer 14/0 Brown
Tail: Sparkle Organza Dun
Body: Polishquills Stripped Peacock Orange
Thorax: Hareline Hare’s Ear Plus Dark Olive
Wing: Hareline Premium Deer Natural Brown, 2x CDC Dark Olive

I keep experimenting with the stripped peacock from polishquills and for a up-right emerger I would normally do either CDC or deer for the wing, but for this one I combine the two with a supporting layer of deer behind the CDC to see how it will behave. The sparkle organza tail will serve as a good attractor. This should sit nice and low in the water and for a slow-flowing river this will be a sure bet next summer.

From behind: the deer should help support the fly in a upright position

A bit dark, but a shot from the front:

The profile from underneath: the Hare’s Ear dubbing with the added bling will behave very good

Fiery Emerger

Posted on 6 December, 2013 by Håvard Eide cdc emerger hareline knapek mallard polishquills sheer

Hook: Knapek Midge Pupae #14
Thread: Sheer 14/0 Brown
Body: Polishquills Stripped Peacock Orange
Thorax: Hareline Hare’s Ice Dub Rusty Orange, 2xCDC
Wing: 2xCDC White
Legs: Mallard Flank

This pattern I found on theonfly.com and adapted to a different color scheme. The fiery red/orange of this emerger will make it a great trout/grayling fly that I now have to wait until april/may (until the ice melts away here in Norway…) to actually test. The body on this came out ok, I should have bugbond on the peacock quill, but the one I have is to thick to apply to such a body.The other thing I would experiment with is to have a bit more legs on to make them stand out even more

Top view: the legs will create a good footprint on the surface

Bottom view: the legs combined with the rusty orange dubbing is a great combination

A couple together:

No Hackle CDC Quill Body

Posted on 6 December, 20135 December, 2013 by Håvard Eide 94840 cdc mustad peacock polishquills sheer squirrel wapsi

Hook: Mustad 94840 #14
Thread: Sheer 14/0 Brown
Tail: Hareline Mayfly Tail White
Body: Polishquills Stripped Peacock Orange
Thorax: Wapsi Squirrel Spikey Dubbing
Wing: 2xCDC White

The stripped peacock eye makes for a very good segmented body, here I have tied it on a no-hackle CDC with a 94840 from Mustad. You can of course strip the feather yourself and color them the way you want, but the quality you get from polishquills.com is great and it saves a lot of time!

View from above: the split tail can be a bit tricky to get the first time you try it, but once you get the hang of it it should be easy to do. Here I have used the thin mayfly tail from Hareline, but you can (and I often do) use any hackle/feather to form a tail.

Vinyl Rib Caddis

A lot of streamers and flies for saltwater fishing here lately,so back to some dryfly action: a vinyl rib caddis with a white CDC feather for visibility. This and many more that I tie are inspired from the flytying section of the norwegian flyfishing forum on fluefiskesiden.no
