KF Emerger

I decided to take a break from tying with biot, me and it just don't work well together. I was watching tying videos earlier today and was looking for something simpler to tie. I watch a video from HopperJuan aka Juan Ramirez out of Colorado Springs, Co,. The video had HopperJuan tying up an KF Emerger. It's actually quite easy to tie and looks buggy enough to tie up a few to keep in the new fly box I bought. I pretty much spent my weekend behind the desk tying flies. I have a long way to go to fill the fly box, but my goal will be to try and fill the box with only flies I tie & flies I receive via fly swaps.

Have fun behind the vice,

That'll work. Nice looking fly. I look forward to seeing how it fishes for you. I really dig everything that Juan ties. His site is super helpful too. Again, nice job.

Thanks for the reply Ben. Juan certainly has some great information on his blog, I'm just scratching the surface thus far and like what I see.
