Emerging mayfly

A place to discuss the collecting and tying of classic flies, the tyers who made them famous, the tools, materials and techniques they used as well as the waters they were designed for. While classic is generally used to describe old things, classic is also used in the sense of first class or in the highest form. Therefore a fully dressed Salmon Fly, or a Carrie Stevens Streamer are just as much classics as a Chernobyl Ant would be. Enjoy the forum.

Very nice. Fits my definition of "trout food" perfectly.

Thanks everyone

I used here a Tiemco TMC 212Y. It's a thin wired hook so don't use it when you expect nice sized fish. Rather go for a regular scud hook.
