1. Put bead on hook
2. Thread hook shank to bend of hook
3. Tail; Tie in short cdc tail at bend. Trim cdc just behind bead. This will put a little bulk in the body.
4. Body; I wrap over the cdc and shank about three wraps back and forth. Leave thread behind bead.
I fish this just below the surface with an occasional tug.
This is a killer emerger pattern I've used on Spring Creek during the BWO hatch.

What hook is this? Very nice profile and looks to be fairly heavy wire...
ReplyDeleteI believe i tied this with a 1x short, 1xstrong #500 J Stockard hook. That's what i use now and it looks the same.
