Great ties, guys. Mike, can you share that recipe? Nice looking caddies

Thanks John, Jim recipe is as follows.

Hook, 14 scud hook.
Thread 12/0 Euro thread dark brown.
Under body, chartreuse thread, build up taper rib with black thread.
Body, clear D-rib medium.
Veil in split thread, Senyo laser dub, olive. Wrapped and brushed back to envelope body.
Head dark brown rabbit in split thread also brushed a bit.

Where does the brown thread come in? Is it for the split thread dubbing technique used for the head?

Nomad, it is used through out the fly. For this fly I use brown due to the color other the head. It blends in. Also the Euro thread splits very nicely and for 12/0 it is very strong.

That makes sense. The chartreuse is for the building the taper and abdomen of the fly?

 

[GenCon]

Nomad, yes that is what the chartreuse is for also it creates the color below the D-rib.

Hey Dave

You got a recipe, or a link for that fly?

I love it. How heavy are you tying them?

I used partridge for the legs instead of deer hair.

I tie these in different colors. Last year was the first year i concentrated on fishing with more emergers. I had enough success to make me tie a dozen more of these bad boys.

I fish it 12" behind a caddis of some kind. Hopper dropper style. Covers more ground, in case im not sure if the fish are looking for emergers or drys.

Little practice to make sure I can tie these from memory for the jam this weekend.
