I was messing around with my Grizzly hackle and new thread after work today. I was kind of having a fly tyers "block" as I could not think of what to tie. Gray and Gray? What can I tie? Then I remembered a small Gray emerger that I use on the local tailwaters. The Silver Bullet. So, using it as a guide, I threw this pattern together.

Long version of the Silver Bullet.

Hook - Mustad R73-9671 size 16
Thread - 14/0 Sheer in Gray
Rib - UTC silver wire
Abdomen - 14/0 Sheer in Gray
Thorax - Muskrat under fur
Collar - Grizzly Hen Hackle

Short version
Hook - Mustad 3906

Emerger

Fantastic flies and photos. All three patterns look like they would be fish magnets.

Holy smokes, that bottom photo is sharp as a tack. Great job Wayne.
