Tying the Mole Fly 2.0 (The Timmy) Fishing Fly

The Mole Fly Emerger is genius in its simplicity (https://youtu.be/lO2tXUCb778). This is, in our opinion, fly design at its finest…Mr Craven at it again! This is a similar fly…not sure if it is Mole Fly 2.0, but it slays. As you sit down to tie this fly, remind yourself that it is supposed to be a beautiful mess.

• Hook: We use a Firehole 320, sizes 18-22. That said, a Klink hook or a hook like the Kona BC3 is a better choice. https://www.discountflies.com/product/M-KBC3.html
• Tail: 2 or 3 split fibers like Moose, Elk Mane (https://www.discountflies.com/product/M-CCELK.html ) or Fibbets (https://www.discountflies.com/product/M-CCMF.html ).
• Thread: SemperFli Nano Silk 18/0, Color to match body. https://www.discountflies.com/product/M-SNS18.html
• Body and Thorax: Natural dubbing, colors of choice. https://www.discountflies.com/product/M-NSSSR.html
• Wing: Mixed Raven and Wolf Shuck Fibers. We like to mix rust or dark brown, with tan and white. We like 50-60% of the dark color and no more than 10-15% of the pure white. https://www.discountflies.com/product/M-RWSHUCK.html
