EMT Loop Wing Emerger - green drake with video

I have been busy at the bench lately tying Green Drake EMT Loop Wing Emergers. EMT stands for "Emerging Mayfly for Trout". This fly is tied by several others including Craig Mathews and the late Dave Lewis. I'm not sure who originated it, but this is my version.

I also did a little "practice" video with my new camera that I've attached. This is raw un-edited video so keep that in mind. http://youtu.be/wKG7Mc4ov_o

Enjoy tying some up, fish them with just some floatant on the hackle and foam.

Loop Wing in process...

A great fly anywhere you have drakes. I tie them in green, brown and gray. I even tie smaller versions for PMD's, BWO's, Hendrickson's, etc..

Materials List:
Hook: MFC 7026 or 7076 #12-14

Thread: Danville 6/0 - olive

Shuck: Needloft yarn - amber

Rib: Krystal Flash - rootbeer

Loop Wing: 2mm craft foam - gray

Hackle: Olive Grizzly, trimmed and v-cut on the bottom.

How wide should the craft foam be trimmed?

Works great for flav's... size 14-16 1xl nymph hook, mix a touch of adams gray into your green drake dubbing at about a 1 (gray) to 10 (green) ratio. That should do it...
