Tie in a small clump of deer hair, extend the deer hair about a hook length behind the hook and tie it in to the front of the hook to help build up the body. Stacking the deer hair first is a good idea. |

Tie in another stacked clump of deer hair, just slightly longer than the hook. This will be brought forward later. |

Tie in at least 6 strands of peacock herl and wrap it forward. Us as much of the peacock herl as you can to build up a nice fat body. Then tie it off at the front of the fly. |

Move your tying thread back about 1/4" and pull over the deer hair to form the back of the fly. Wrap over the deer hair a couple of time, but do not cut off the excess deer hair. |

Now wrap in front of the deer hair, this will help the deer hair stand up which gives the fly the good surface emerger look. |

Whip finish in front of the deer hair. |

Keep the fly nice and dry when fishing. |

This is how the fly looks to the fish in the water! |
