Bright Fox

Dry Fly Emerger

Tied By Christian Andrews

Hook: as desired for a lacewing

Thread: red

Materials-

tag: gold

tail: two dark fibers (feather, deer, moose, other)

body: yellow fox (or any other yellow dubbing, wool, or floss)

wings: dark hackle tips

throat: yellow fuzz (good question … see illustration from Mary Orvis Marbury)

head: red thread

Notes:

Some liberties have been taken in the attached video. Mary Orvis Marbury says the fly was originally tied with fox fur dubbing but that substitutions were often made. Floss was used in the video. There is no recipe in Mary’s book, so guesses had to be made about all the other ingredients as well.
