Hook: Kona BC4 size 14Thread: Uni-Thread in 8/0 Olive DunShuck: Antron Yarn in Gold/TanTail: Hareline Coq De Leon Medium SpeckledThe first ingredient is Antron Yarn for the shuck. Remove the fibers from the tip, then tie on the shank’s center and cover with thread down to the bend. Trim the rear laying yarn to half a hook’s gap in length.
For the Film Critic’s tail, secure six strands removed from the Coc De Leon feather on the shank’s bend.
We’re now moving onto the mayfly emerger’s body using turkey biot. Tie a single quill by the tip and near the bend, then advance with overlapping wraps up the shank. Secure the material where the thread base initially started.
Secure a small clump of white EP Fibers at their center for the wing post. Trim the rear-facing fibers to the same length as the shuck but leave the forward-facing material uncovered for now.
Next, secure the cape hackle by the tip with the flowy section running behind the bend, then pull the EP Fibers rearward and make several thread wraps at the front to push them back further. We will come back to the feather at a later step.
The Flim Critic’s thorax consists of dubbing. Apply a small pinch to the thread, then make several turns in front and behind the post.
Returning to the hackle, pull the post upward, then wrap the feather around its base several times before tying it off and clipping the excess.
Position the post past the eye, then secure the fibers behind the eye while simultaneously pulling the hackles rearward.
Complete a whip finish, trim the post to around the same height as the hackles, then apply a drop of head cement. The Film Critic is now ready to emerge from your vice and hopefully into a trout’s mouth.
