The Klinkhamer (The Big Klink) - Fly Tying with Geoff Johnston

This is my version of the Klinkhamer, or as I like to call it 'The Big Klink' The reason I call it that is because I rarely fish in any other size than a size 10. At this size I find it a great fly when speculating in prospective areas with a dry, and it is my 'go to' fly when suspending a nymph below it to fish New Zealand dropper, Duo, Dry Dropper, Klink and Dink or whatever you may choose to call it....
Dressing:
Hook: Kamasan B100 size 10
Thread: Camel 8/0 Uni-Thread
Wing post: Poly Yarn
Abdomen: Beige or Cream Awesome Possum or similar
Hackle: Red Game or Ginger cock hackle, quite long in fibre
Thorax: Peacock Ice Dub
