the summer fly (the CDC hares ear)hook size 20 drenan carbon specimen(size wise as a short shank will match a dry 22)thread 8/0 black butt orange SLF body hares ear slf head CDC feather (natural x2) 1. find hook they are tiny and mount in vice and run onthread 
2. secure two CDC and run thread down to bend before cutting off waste 
3 run thread part way up hook again and apply wax for dubbing

This type of little pattern has caught me a lot of fish at Woodford over the summer, even during the evening caenis hatch. Have had succes with natural hare's fur, green or fluoro green, or as you have tied it but the other way round, natural hare with a touch of fire orange SLF at the thorax.
Great SBS by the way.

Looks good mate. FF where do you get your iddy-biddy hooks from? | ||

Beatnik, I bought the first packet from the Village Tackle Shop in Newtownbreda after I could not find a small fly tying hook that I was happy with. That, at the time was all they had so ordered more from here http://www.tackleuk.co.uk/drennan-carbon-specimen-p-1300.html There are other similar hooks made for specialist coarse anglers, but the carbon specimens are slightly finer and more suited to this in my opinion. |
