extended body emerger

[jonnied17-2008]

this one based on what matt (NCA) brought to my attention, that the shuck of an emerger hangs off the legs rather than the abdomen.

Unusual pattern to say the least but exciting looking. Thanks for showing.

Careful Jonnie, don't want to be a hero

I really do enjoy seeing your new patterns and all the inbetween stages! Keep them coming!

Jeez you got some testing to do next year fella, Nice looking fly....take long to do?

cheers for the comments guys haha lol let the worship begin scotty Im not the best fisherman or fly tyer I can promise that, but I do enjoy it, especially messing around with new and old ideas if you havnt noticed yet

cheers pom, nah not long to tie but the bodies can be a little fiddly at first, best to just tie the bodies one night then tie the pattern the next. This is on a size 14, hopefully I can wittle then down to a decent 16, or so, this one (in terms of the extended body) would more likely imitate something between sizes 10-12!!!

sorry mate just seen the size,


great tyings

Wow, never seen anything like it.
I would say radical but i ain't a skateboarder
I like the idea and the execution Jonnie, dying to find out if they work...c'mon spring.

thanks guys

tell me about it, Im a bit skeptical how its gonna land once it's cast but it does sit very nicely in the film. Needs a bit of refining too

Very intersting concept and tie, for the shuck would you be better using something more translucent and "empty" looking seeing as it's just a shell.
