Extended-body Deer Hair Mayfly (Paradrake)

This was a special request from my fishing buddy JBP. The extended body is tied separately on a bodkin, finished, then pulled off and tied onto the hook.

Hook: #12 Dry

Thread: black

Tail: black bear hair

Abdomen: deer hair

Thorax: black dubbin

Wing Post: black bear hair

Hackle: grizzly tied parachute style

Black Beauty Emerger

Hook: Emerger or dry 16 or smaller

Thread: black

Tail: poly yarn

Abdomen: thread

Ribbing: silver Wapsi wire

Thorax: black or gray dubbin

Wing: poly yarn

Note: based on black beauty nymph which is the same pattern minus the poly tail and wing, tied on a scud or nymph hook.
