Tying a Klinkhamer

  • Hook: Partridge of Redditch Klinkhamer code GRS15ST. These have been developed since the original fly was tied and are bigger in size than you think. Size 18 is similar to size 14. You may also use Tiemco TMC 200R’s but if you do bend it with flat-nosed pliers about 3mm from the eye.
  • Thread: For the body use tan 8/0 or colour to suit pattern. For the hackle use Danville’s Spider Web.
  • Body: Flyrite dubbing No.19, Tan
  • Thorax: 2 peacock herl
  • Wing Post: Siliconised Polypropylene yarn
  • Hackle: Grizzle or to suit pattern
