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: Dai-riki 305 #12
Thread: UNI 8/0
Tag: UNI-Floss Red
Tail: Golden Pheasant topping
Body: Hends Superfine, UTC Ultra Wire Silver
Wing: Whiting Rooster Black, Veniard Chinese Cock Doctor Blue
Mixing up the styles a little bit every week is good for practice: today it was a classic wet-fly that I’ll tie up a larger batch of one of these days – might mix up the tag color a bit, but the base pattern here is easy to get started on and works very well for trout and grayling.
Hook: Partridge Klinkhamer X-treme #14
Thread: Sheer 14/0 Green
Body: Spirit River Fine & Dry dubbing Pale Morning Dun, UTC Ultra wire
Hackle: Whiting bronze
Wing: White&Green Polypropylene
This weeks keyword was “hat”, so I had to do something with a hackle to represent a hat, so: a tall variant of a klinkhamer! Looking forward to “vegetables” that comes up next week!
My photo challenge for this week ended up with this streetart in Oslo:
Hook: Mustad 94840 #18
Thread: Sheer 14/0 White
Tag: UTC Wire silver
Bead: Whiting Brown, peacock herl, Whiting white
Another pattern from “tying small flies” by Ed Engle: Renegade. I chose a silver tag instead of the gold in the original pattern. A interesting pattern that should float nicely in the surface and give a good profile.
Hook: Daiichi 1260 #12
Thread: UNI 6/0 Black
Body:UNI Floss Black, UTC Ultra Wire
Wing: Hareline Premo Deer Hair, Whiting Bronce Hackle
A variation of the caddis with a longer daiichi 2xlong nymph hook then the previous versions
