Fly: Jim Cramer, Photographs: Hans Weilenmann
|
Hook: |
Any short shank dry |
| Thread: |
Color to blend with hackle |
| Wing post: |
Antron, Glo Bug yarn, or most any similar dubbing. Firmly tie a clump
of dubbing to the top center of the hook with strong thread. Tie the clump
in at the center so that both ends/sides can be pulled up. Tightly post
the body with three of four wraps of thread. |
| Hackle: |
To suit, Tie in with three wraps parachute style. |
Note: This is simple, very quick tie. Colors and combinations can be changed to suit the tier. The body can be a natural gray or black or one of the hi-vis colors. The fish don’t seen to have a great preference. It would
probably also represent a small beetle if needed.
Finish off the fly by pulling the excess dubbing up and cuttin the parallel to the hook much as if you were cutting off for a Glo Bug pattern. Flatten the body with your thumb and add a drop of head cement to the bottom if desired.
