As promised, my first fly that caught me a fish. It's a great little pattern that's quick to tie and represents a number of bugs. I originally tied it to be a BWO, but last night it did duty as a spent caddis and/or a blue quill or quill gordon and landed me a beautiful fish on the first presentation.
Hook: #16 emerger
Thread: 70 denier, black or olive
Abdomen: stripped peacock herl
Thorax: olive dubbin
Wing: 2 dark dun CDC feathers tied facing rearward and then pulled forward over dubbin ball to form a wing case and tied behind the eye to form the wing.
