One of my most favorite fishing flys is a black mosquito. I tie it only on size 16,18 or 20, Daiichi 1190. thread black 8/0 tail = Black hackle fibers (dry fly hackle) Rib = fine silver wire Body = Black floss (single strand) Wing = JV hen cape hackle, tied in down wing style (I think the round end hen makes better wings) Hackle = Black dry fly hackle, some I hackle liberally for fast water, sparsely for more calm water. Normal pattern I use Grizzly for tail,wings and hackle. If you want a step by step as I tie it I will be happy to do so for you, off list cuz I do not want to get lengthy and take up band width.
