Deer & CDC Emerger

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

When I explore a pattern I normally try out different colors to see how they come together. This one is the same as the Hairwing Salmon that I did yesterday, but with a yellow body.

A hairwing single-hook salmon fly that should work well once the hairwing gets wet, the tail and throat should also be good visual indicators. I have no idea where the hair in the wing comes from: I have some samples in my box that I just don’t know the origin of, but they work well!

Working with floss can be a pain at times; it splits up and doesn’t stay put where you want it. But it really doesn’t matter when it comes to flies like this that you actually go out and fish with: this red midge pupae should be a good addition to any box for when the trout season starts up again
