- My take on a Klinkhammer pattern developed more for to use in the Duo method.
With a hi-viz foam post, sighting the fly on the river is made much more easy. It also helps aid the fly in floating when fishing faster sections of the river. Finally a mono tag is tied at the rear of the fly to easily attach a length of tippet to fish a nymph bellow.
I tie these in a range of colours including; black, olive, tan and hares ear.
Material List:
Hook: Medium Wire Shrimp/Grub (10, 12, 14)
Thread: Uni Thread 8/0 Black
Loop: 10lb Monofilament
Post: 4mm foam (Pink)
Tag: Opal Mirage
Body: Semperfli Kapok (Black)
Thorax: Peacock Herl (Natural)
Hackle: Natural Badger Cock
Crickey, a lot of materials and a complicated tie, but a great idea and it gives me some really good options for other flies such as a suspended FAB
Nice tie John. Think I will tie a few up for grayling fishing this winter with a shrimp pattern underneath.
Let me know how you get on with them out on the river 👍🏻
Wondering what weight nymph do you find your 4mm foam post will hold up.Do you find the foam floats better than polypropylene posts.Cheers
