Calvin ties his Turducken emerger at the Big R Fly Shop in Ponderay. So called due to its use of turkey, duck, and chicken materials. This fly can be used as a pale morning dun or baetis depending on the thread colors you choose.
Materials:
• Hook: TMC 102Y size 17 or 19
• Thread: UTC 70 chartreuse
• Tan CDC
• Small amber Ultra Wire
• Turkey feather
• Mallard flank
• Cream dry fly hackle
This is not quite a traditonal emerger, not quite a traditional Tenkara fly. Use this for both traditional fly fishing and Tenkara, should be great for both!
EMT stands for "Emerging Mayfly for Trout". This fly is tied by several others including Craig Mathews and the late Dave Lewis. I'm not sure who originated it, but this is my version. A great fly anywhere you have drakes. I tie them in green, brown and gray. I even tie smaller versions for PMD's, BWO's, Hendrickson's, etc..
Bob Wyatt's updated DHE. Hook: Partridge GRS 6A #12, Thread: Uni-thread 6/0, Brown, Rib: Tying thread, Abdomen: Hare, dyed olive (or color , to match the natural), Wing/shoulder: Deer hair, natural, Thorax: Hare's ear, natural, Note: To fish, apply paste floatant to wing and thorax only - the abdomen should ride below the film.
This is a twist on the original Klinkhammer Special. Both the post and hackle are made from CDC. This pattern sits nicely on the water's surface. The CDC hackle undulates and adds movement to the fly. The black color scheme works well in mid to late summer when an increasing number of terrestrial insects find their way onto the water's surface.
Hans van Klinken has this to say about his lovely little fly; "This fly I personally find one of my best and most beautiful emerging patterns". It's simple, it's different and it's not difficult to tie. Best of all, trout love it!
