Next Fly

Second Midge Swap 2002 Swapmaster: Jim Collins from Missouri, USA

Gerroff tied by Rene Zillmann from Germany
	Tying instructions Catch the thread at the hook´s eye and wind the usual thread base almost to the bend. The finished fly should look a bit too small for the hook´s size. Tie in the clear plastic strip pointing back. Dubb the body with the dubbing mix. Fold the strip over the body, secure, form a neat head and whip finish. Cement and voila. The idea of this fly is the ´oversized´ hook. He adds weight to the fly without bulk. The fly was originally invented by Brian Clarke and John Goddard from England. It is described in "The Trout and the Fly".
Pattern Hook: wet or dry, sz. 16 Thread: black 0/8 Shellback: Clear plastic stripe Dubbing: Mix of orange SLF with hears mask head: black
