WNY Fly Fishing Photo's (Emerald Shiner)

This is my latest creation, my emerald shiner. The minnow is dead, so the colors are a little faded. (tough to get a live one to hold still for a pic) I have tested this pattern and have had great success so far.








Hook is tmc 9394 or 9395
belly is white rams wool
body is white dna holo fusion wrapped around hook shank
then layer blue and lavender dna on top then put peacock herl and your done.
eyes are 3/16 holo dome covered in epoxy

    Just a gorgeous looking fly. I met Jeff Blood on the Conneuat and he has a dead Emerald Shiner pattern he developed that works very well too.
