Additional Flies for Tuesday Nov 12th, 2024 Meeting

                   Dave Roberts has added these flies for Tuesday Nov 12th Meeting


BWO Soft Hackle

 


 

This is a pattern that Dave has tweaked to get an emerger that with the changing style of the hook will sink less deep.  The pattern is a variant for the Greenwell Glory.

 

Hook:  Heavy hook Daiichi 1530, Light hook Daiichi 1480,  Sizes 16-24

 Thred:  light olive silk or you favorite thread

 Tail:  A few barbs of hen soft hackle

Body:  Olive dubbing – mole, squirrel, hares ear

 Wing:  Not necessary but a confidence builder – any grey feather – duck, wild goose, starling or even dyed.

 Hackle:  Hen dun or Partridge
