First Try at a Roy Christie Emerger
This is a first (well, okay, third) attempt at tying a Roy Christie style emerger. The fly hangs very low in the water with the tail fully submerged. You really have to know where the fly is or you'll likely miss a strike. They float like little corks though if you use good hackle.
This is on a size 18 hook. Once you've done a couple of these, the hackling is really simple. The step by step instrucions for this type of fly can be found at http://ukflydressing.proboards47.com...ead=655&page=1
Can't wait for the CWFI to try them out during the Rocky Ford Creek BWO hatch.
