That’s sick Tim.. Never seen that technique before on the thorax or the case!!!
Great fly works as many different forms depending on color and size. One of the best mayfly emerger patterns you can use.
omg this guy ties so well
Matt always ties a beautiful fly. That being said, this is the first time I have seen one of his flies not have the characteristic Catskill small space behind the eye. Of course I am by no means criticizing, I want that to be perfectly clear, just an observation as I am so envious of his ability to make a fly look so easy to tie AND have extra space at the eye of the hook. Great fly Matt, thanks for sharing. All the best to you, Sean
I know this video was posted several years ago, and am sure Matt's pattern has been around even longer, but that's the point of my comment. This was one of the early pattern's I tied (or attempted to tie - I completely butchered the peacock herl and rabbit dubbing loop on every try). Several barely passable copies made their way into my fly box, but that's where they stayed and never made their way onto the water.
Flash forward to the present...Due to the current catastrophe that is my tying bench, I recently decided to purge and reorganize my fly boxes partly to determine if there were some older patterns that I had never tried to fish / and or tied poorly, and if there was any future use from them or if I should relegate their real estate to some newly tied patterns that I had more confidence in.
Leaving for the river today, I still loaded my fly box with all the newer creations from my bench. 5 old copies of the Cloud Emerger sat in purgatory off to the side. I was wondering if I could even get them attached to the tippet since I had crowded the eyes so badly. I was all packed to go but last minute decided to stick 2 onto the "on deck" patch on my sling.
As luck would have it, the river claimed my entire box of A list flies after the first half hour when I lost balance in high water. My back up options weren't so good. Small box of gaudy experimental streamers, small box of sulphur-ish dries, and the 2 sloppy looking Cloud Emergers. Neither of the first 2 had much of a place on early season small streams in CT so I tied on an emerger and hoped for the best.
They fished brilliantly.
Several wild Brook Trout, several stocked Browns, 1 Juvenile Wild Brown.
Maybe there's no real moral here, but just because it's old to you doesn't mean it's old to the trout. Sloppy is good sometimes.
Anyway, I had fun and am definitely going to revisit this one. Belated thanks for the video and instruction, and hopefully I'll get the herl and rabbit right this time around.

Peter Varkala great story!
I have been tying for two seasons and I really appreciated this account. I know that we care way more about how the flies look than the fish do! :-) Looking forward to fishing some of my 'ugly' flies this season!
Un maestro atando, como siempre. Me fascina la seguridad y delicadeza con que lo hace.
Dam , another fly for me to tie!! Thanks !!
You and Matt should make a book or dvd including all of these patterns and how to tie and use them. (videos are already made obviously) just a thought.
Very nice looks like it would take fish
thank you - great and helpful like always.
Muy buena mosca, gracias por subirla.
amazing
great
Can you please tell me where you get your mayfly brown z-lon.
would you add floatant to your tippet and or add xink to the fly to help get it in the film?
i have 20 years of tieing supplys, but the foot of a snowshoe rabbit?
good idea!
But tightlinevideo and few more youtube channels is the reason why you now don't need any fly tying DVD.
Buy books instead....
