Evropa 12 – imitacija kedisa

Europea 12

Mnogi Šveđani misle da je ova muva, Europea12, klasična švedska muva, jer je svi znaju i to već decenijama. Ali istina je da je obrazac poreklom iz Francuske. Nije bitno odakle dolazi, odlična je suva muva kada se izležu kedisi.

Najvažnija komponenta za izgled muve je krilo. Napravljen je od perja sa grudi patke. Ponekad ga je teško nabaviti u dobrom kvalitetu, mnogo zbog toga što je spakovano u plastične kese i smrvljeno. Lako je popraviti ako držite pero iznad kipuće vode, koristeći paru da ispravite pero.

Da bih doveo pravu dužinu krila do prave veličine kuka, koristim odličnu ideju Lennart Bergqvists, koristeći komade kartonske ploče gde možete lako izmeriti perje i iseći na pravu dužinu.

Ove Evrope 12 su vezane na Ahrex udicama FV502 veličine 10-16

Original engleski: Many Swedes think that this fly, the Europea12, is a classic Swedish fly because everyone knows it and has so for many decades. But the truth is that the pattern is originally from France. It doesn't really matter where it comes from, it is a superb dry fly when there are hatching caddis flies.

The most important component for the fly's look is the wing. It's made from mallard hen chest feather. It's sometimes difficult to obtain in good quality, much because of it's ben packed in plastic bags and crushed. It's easy to fix if you hold the feather over boiling water, using the steam to straighten the feather.

To get the right length of the wing to the right hooks size, I'm using Lennart Bergqvists great idea, using pieces if card board where you easy can measure the feathers and cut to right length.

These E 12 are tied on Ahrex FW502 size 10-16
