Loop Wing Emerger step by step

Here is another tutorial for today. This is a good mayfly emerger patterns, and can even pass as a midge from time to time. Change colors to match the may flies that are hatching. Another good variation of this pattern, or maybe its the original, is using cdc in place of the poly wing.


Recipe
Hook: Standard dry fly hook, sizes 14-22(size to match hatch) (pictures are of a size 18)
Thread: Olive 8/0
Tail: white poly yarn
body: Olive antron dubbing or substitute
Wing: White poly yarn

If you are having troubles forming the wing case, a bodkin can com in very handy. Simply place the bodkin as far back as you want the wing to go back, then fold the poly yarn over it towards the eye of the hook. Then tie off and viola.
