Another hackle stacker variation; mayfly emerger this time around. Tied here in PMD colors; change to suit the hatch. The integrated CH post/wing worked well, but give yourself enough room at the head (I crowded this one a little) as it's a bit bulky.

Part 1

build a slender body up to hook point




tie in CH wing/post; fold back






tie in hackle (shiny side out/cup side up), post up (thorax length)






sanity check (measure twice/cut once); adjust, if needed
