No fishing today, although the conditions are perfect!

So, I figured I would make a couple of Klinkhammers to show you. I am no expert on this fly, but the ones I make work as catchers, and also excellent support for dry dropper rigs.



This is sort of a standard combination I've been making.
- Size 14 hook
- Tan superfine
- Orange Mcflylon post
- Dark CDL tail
- Tan thread
- Mixed brown/grizzly hackle oversized

I treat these flies with Watershed, and I think it helps. A couple of keys that might help you:
(1) Tie the post in at the highest part of the hook bend.
(2) Tie off the hackle before you dub the front of the fly.
(3) Cut the post fairly short, otherwise the fly may spin during the cast and land on its side.

Like I said, I am no expert, so there are always a few stray hackles pointing the wrong way, so I just cut those off. Tight lines!
