The Honker - An Easy to Tie Midge Pattern for Picky Trout

Visit Us Here - flyproject.us/
Sam ties the Honker. We've tied about 25 variations of this fly and we have been fishing it all winter and we found this variation worked the best. Just 3 materials -
1. Natural Goose Biot
2. Natural Goose CDC
3. EP Trigger Point Fibers - flyproject.us/ep-trigger-poin...
Genryuu 406 Dry Fly Hook in size 16-20 - flyproject.us/the-fly-project...

Awesome

[@BradKerr-ob3sj]

Awesome! What sizes do you fish?

[@HouseOfFly]

16-20… and most of the time an 18

[@garyneitzelt1788]

I am new to fly tying. Could you explain what the "C" channel is?

[@HouseOfFly]

Hey Gary… yes what I mean is that it is the natural curve of the biot. If you look at the end of the biot it makes a C… if you wind the biot c channel down to the hook you get a smooth body and if you wind the biot c channel up you get a natural ribbed body… hope that helps

[@HouseOfFly]

Hey @josephciavagliajr5323 I used the CDC Dun color.

Hey @bryanj7 I used the CDC Dun Trigger Pint Fibers on this variation.
