Tying Instructions

Instructions Why tie another imitation of the nypmhal version of a Hexagenia
Limbata?  Why not?  This is a shot at making a good, close imitation of the Hex.



Note:  I
generally use a blend of Hare's Ear and Antron dubb for the body,
although in this fly I used Ronn's iridescent dubbing in tan.  Emu can
be hard to find, but it is the best material for this fly.  Ostrich can
be substituted of necessary. 
A bleached turkey quill can be used in place of the pheasant.
