Here's another fly I copped from Bob Wikoff. These flies show up early to mid June in the Catskills.

Hook: #14 Dry 

Thread: tan 70 denier

Tail: cream hackle fibers

Body: Hareline light Cahill dubbin

Hackle: cream 

Wing: calf hair (Bob Wikoff uses snowshoe rabbit fur)

Wikoff Mahogany Dun (Isonychia Dry)

My attempt at a traditional dry fly pattern based on a fly given to me by Bob Wikoff. This pattern worked magic for Bob on the upper West Branch in early June. 

Hook: dry #12

Thread: rusty brown 70 denier

Tail: brown hackle fibers

Body: chocolate brown Hareline dubbin

Hackle: brown

Wing: lemon wood duck

The original:

I believe Bob used a dark dun for his hackle and tail but I didn't have a dun anywhere near that dark. Also, seems his thread was tan and not brown.
