These flies are simple to tie if you are going to attempt a small dry. First use fine silk thread. I used #22 hooks. Tie in a piece of silver small ultra wire and wrap back just past point. Add a very small amount of superfine dubbing and wrap to thorax. Wrap wire back and tie off. Tie in elk hair wing. Whip finish. Note: careful not to get silk thread caught on point and try not to crowd head.

These flies work well on our still small waters that are common at the end of summer, beginning of fall. Use at least 3 feet of 7x tippet and present gently to rising trout. Tight lines! PM
