Very nicely done Gerrit, smart vice too.
This is a very effective Nymph used by the Czechs and others worldwide.Some of you might recognize this fly, it features in the dvd "Flyfishing and Flytying" I changed one or two materials but is hardly worth mentioning.This fly has some interesting features which gabbed me immediately.
1)Body Quills ~ hot spot in orange and brown body ~ nice contrasting trigger.
2)CDC overwing ~ could be anything from still born wings, legs or air bubbles.
3)Pearl dubbing ~ tied in on top to emulate emergence or attracter. (The violet in the dubbing could help in murkey water)
4)The thorax/head is brown Squirrel SLF also a very nice darker infront trigger.Remember, the very 1st thing that change whith emergence is the thorax colour,then wingscases splitting open,etc,etc.
Here is the complete dressing for those interested.

Hook: Scud #14.

I'm serious ... have access to go fish glas helder small stream for kleinbekke en grootbekke not too far from our Valley ... brand new exploration trip ... daai vliegie van jou sal virseker werk.
Toe toe ... so 10 van elk in #14 en #16, sien dit as kompensasie vir die advies oor die TimeCapsule en jou aanstande (Big) Mac
