Found this interesting 3-wing emerger pattern on facebook and thought I would have a go at it. The original image was not particularly detailed, so I winged it in terms of execution. Since this was the first attempt some of the details came out a bit wrong, but I like the overall idea behind this one.

The top view: there is a lot of deer hair in this one, it should float very good

Tube: Orange tag

Body: Uni-floss green, Uni-French, Genetic Cock Saddle Green Highlander
Wing: Temple Dog: Orange, Yellow & Lime, peacock
Hackle: Spirit River Schlappen Black hackle

After experimenting with Sunray shadows all weekend I ended up freestyling this tube with the material I have available. I really like how this turned out: the orange/green/yellow combination should be a real treat in the water , the only thing I would like to see in addition would be a disc/conehead and maybe a Jungle Cock side

Black & Silver Salmon

Tag: UNI-French
Body:UNI Floss Black, UNI-French
Wing: Sunburst Yellow Foxtail, Orange Foxtail, Red Arctic Fox 3xl, peacock
Hackle: Black hackle
Head: JC, Black Ostrich Herl

Of the ones I have tied on this #1/0 hook I think this is the one I’m the most pleased with: the propotions are better, the overwing sits better in its place and the JC is a very good visual indicator. I need a better hackle to tie in on this and the tube flies that I’m starting to tie so I’m heading out tomorrow to do some pre-christmas present-shopping for myself ;)

Got myself some packages of fox and tempel dog to experiment with streamers and tube flies. No particular pattern I’ve gone after, but rather see how these materials come together
