Fly of the month.

This month, with steelhead season fast approaching, I wanted to show you a variation on the good old micro-spawn.  This is simply called a veiled spawn.  You will need micro yarn, 6/0 thread, and glow bug yarn or veiling material for this fly.  My favorite color combos are pink with cream veil and orange with cream veil.  This fly looks very translucent in the water, and is great when things are getting low and clear.


As you can see this fly is an easy tie. 

Step 1. Tie four loops of micro yarn on a tmc 2488h hook, leaving the front 1/4 of the hook free.

Step 2. Tie in a clump of veiling material.  Use a very small amount.  It does not take much.  If you are using Glow Bug yarn, use a one inch peice, and seperate this into four strands.  One of these strands is more than enough.

Step 3.  Pull the material back so that it is going over the four loops, or veiling it.  Use the thread to make sure it is all facing back.  Sometimes it helps to wet the material.

Step 4. Whip finish and go!

Again, this fly is very simple, and not too different than a traditional micro spawn, but the added motion and translucency gives it something the fish just can't resist!
