Goddard Poly May Emerger (variation) SBS

Not sure if this one came before the Klinkhammer, but it’s a neat fly and very easy to tie. Original calls for gold calftail wing (in the process of dyeing some up) but used the synth here; also swapped out black hackle for grizzly.

hook - Dai Riki 125 #12
thread - Danville 6/0 cream
shuck/wing - Congo Hair pale gold
body - Congo Hair cream
hackle - grizzly

Part 1

mash barb, start thread, tie in CH, wrap to bend

fold tag end over (let it extend shank length past the eye), tie down and wrap to eye; trim butts

post the wing, tie in hackle (shiny side out)

tie in a few strands of body material; wrap to base of wing, tie off/trim

Part 2

wrap hackle down the post, trap tip with a thread wrap around the base of the post; half hitch x 2 at the base, SHHAN, trim thread/trim hackle tip

trim shuck; wing can be left as is

or trim the tip

Regards,
Scott
