Partridge Caddis Emerger (aka PCE) |
|
 |
|
| Hook: | Tiemco 2487 (or equivalent light wire scud hook) #12-#18 |
| Thread: | Olive |
| Abdomen: | Hare's face (dyed medium olive) |
| Ribbing: | Fine dark copper wire |
| Downwing/wingpost: | Brown' partridge (dyed olive) The butt of the feather becomes the wingpost |
| Hackle: | Dyed dark dun Grizzly hackle, parachute style |
| Thorax: | Hare's ear (dyed medium olive) |
(The materials are listed in the order they are tied in) Note: After the fly is completed, a small drop of varnish is applied at the base of the wingpost, which is subsequently trimmed short. Like most of my patterns, the PCE is a generic imitation. Adjust color scheme to reflect the naturals in your area. |
