Tim's Alternator SBS

[ScottP]

Cool fly from Tim King; pretty simple tie. Fish it as a caddis or mayfly emerger, or just to pound them up.

hook - Dai Riki 280 #12
thread - Danville 6/0 black
abdomen - opalescent mylar medium
wing - bleached elk
thorax - peacock herl
hackle - brown


Part 1

Mash down barb; wrap thread back about gap width from the eye




tie in mylar, wrap halfway down the bend and back to where you started; tie off and trim








clean, stack, measure (tips to the hook bend) a clump of elk; tie in, trim butts








tie in some peacock herl

Part 2

twist around thread, take a couple wraps, then tie in hackle






finish wrapping peacock, tie off and trim




move thread back to mid-thorax; wrap hackle, tie off, trim, half hitch x 2 at eye, SHHAN








trim out hackle underneath - optional






Regards,
Scott

Nice, I can see that working. One thing though, don't accept a lift from Tim!

Cheers,
