Description

This is a complete tying kit with all the materials required to tie 24 flies in this Elk & Foam Stimulator pattern. Plus, there will be lots left over, so additional hooks can be added at a later date to get even more flies from these materials.

The Elk & Foam Stimulator is a favourite pattern of mine for fishing pocket water as a general searching pattern and for fishing meadow streams later in summer when the hoppers are well and truly hitting the water. The combination of cow elk hair and a hook shank wrapped with foam gives this fly that little extra buoyancy to keep you fishing it longer without drying or additional treatment. The shank is wrapped with a fine strip of 1mm foam in place of using dubbing and because of this, the added width of the body requires a smaller hackle feather to match up to the hook size. With this in mind, this kit is supplied with size #10 hooks and size #14 hackles, which I find works as a good combination when tying them myself.

Included in this pack are the following :

Ahrex FW530 Sedge Fly Hooks #10

Hareline 1mm Ultra Thin Foam – Tan

Veevus 8/0 Thread – Cahill Cream

Nature’s Spirit Select Cow Elk – Natural

Whitng 100s Pack Grizzly #14
