Agostino's Midge Emerger SBS

[ScottP]

Shuck on the original was hand-tied; mono core makes it a lot easier for me.


hook - Dai Riki 125 #18
thread - MFC 8/0 sand
core - 5x mono
shuck - CdC dun
body - peacock herl
hackle - grizzly
wing - CdC dun

Part 1

make a loop in mono




start thread; tie mono in




strip off some CdC fibers; tie in






hook loop onto gallows




wrap CdC around mono with thread wraps up (hook length), and back to base






trim away mono; trim CdC butts

Part 2

measure (hook length) and tie in wing over hook eye






return to tail; tie in hackle




tie in peacock; wrap, tie off/trim






wrap hackle thru body; tie off/trim




stand wing up with thread dam in front; half hitch x 2, SHHAN




trim out hackle underneath








Regards,
Scott
