Tying a green drake emerger with Barry Ord Clarke

This green drake emerger is an effective pattern when there are prolific hatches and the fish are playing hard to get. Tie it in different sizes and colours and it works well for many species of emerging mayfly.Visit my site thefeatherbend...

Thanks Barry! Tied some up in anticipation for Green Drake hatch in the San Jaun Mt, CO. this summer.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Good luck with them Matthew!

More inspiration from the Feather Bender. I would also like to thank you for steering me in the direction of Kopter scissors. I own just about every manner of fly tying scissors made but I think for small, delicate flies the Kopter is the Holy Grail of scissors. If I had one wish, however, it would be for larger finger holes. Although I have piano player fingers (long and skinny) I still have a little trouble negotiating the holes.

Dann You're good.

[@mikeney5113]

Beautiful pattern

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thank you Mike, and it works!

[@TheSTURMGEWEHR44]

I’m tying this pattern as soon as I get out of work lol.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Good luck with it!

A thing of beauty barry is this a Dry or nymph

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks Maz, it can be fished both as a nymph subsurface and just in the surface as a dry.

Question can I use coyote fur and what can I use it for? .... awesome fly tying u r so good I never get tired of watching u

[@Thefeatherbender]

Hi Dana, thanks. Yes you can use Coyote for a number of wet & salmon/steelhead hair wing patterns. The guard hairs can also be used a squirrel substitute. The underfur can be used as a nymph dubbing.

[@danasmith8557]

@@Thefeatherbender what is guard hair?

[@Thefeatherbender]

@@danasmith8557 The longer finer hairs on any animal fur.
