Biot Body BWO Emerger

( first tied for Baetis vagans)

Fly: Ron Koenig, Photograph: Hans Weilenmann

Hook: TMC 200R size # 18
Thread: Uni 8/0, olive
Tail: Wood duck flank
Body: Goose biot , brownish olive
Wing: CDC med. dun, type 1
Thorax: Spirit River , “fine & dry” light olive
Beard/legs: Wood duck flank

Notes:

If head cement is applied to the thread foundation prior to wrapping biots, the biots will take more abuse from toothy fish.

I fish the emerger patterns dead drift with an ocational twitch then strip it back sub-surface, you may be suprised at the results of this retrieve.
