    Default Grumpy Frumpy SBS




    hook - Dai Riki 320 #12
    thread/body - Danville Flat-wax yellow
    shuck - Congo Hair brown
    back- 2mm foam tan
    wing - Congo Hair white
    hackle - brown
    band - UTC 140 red
    legs - rubber medium cornsnake


    Saw this in the latest American Angler - trailing shuck like an emerger, body like an attractor and wing like a cripple; quite a combination.




    Part 1

    mash barb and attach thread at 60% mark









    tie in shuck and wrap back to point above barb









    trim shuck to length (about 2/3 shank)









    taper tip of foam strip (hook gap width)









    brush on a little Super Glue and tie in










    cover foam with thread wraps/create body









    pull foam forward, tie down and trim
