San Juan River Flies

[snakeeater5th]

I am trying to figure out how to determine the size of the foam wing on a foam wing emerger. I will be tying on hook size 22, 24, and 26 but wont go much smaller. Anyone have any ideas.

Give a look at Paul Freeman's flies for the SJ and elsewhere:

Not a lot of foam, just a smidge...His Shucka Kahn Midge worked really well for me on the Madison River three weeks ago...

P.S. Welcome to the Forum !!!

The link for Paul’s flies no longer works. I tried a quick search but no luck. Anybody have a good link?

Thx
