Elk hair Green Drake

Elk hair Green Drake dun and spinner (aka Coffin Fly).

The idea of this design is to make a large profile fly with less bulk.

Using a 1x (or even regular length) hook, less bulky body (strands of Elk hair rather than a long dubbing body) and long pheasant tail fibers for tails.

In this video I show how I tie the Coffin fly. For the dun use an olive dyed elk hair for the body, some sort of dun shade hackle tip for the wings (I like the wider profile of a hen feather) and a dun hackle.
