| Tying Instructions |
| Attach thread to the hook and wind down the shank to the bend. Tie in
sparse Z-lon tail/shuck - I used 1/2 a 'hank', and tried to make sure the
ends were uneven lengths. Over all length of tail is around 3/4 shank
length. Add dubbing for the abdomen, tapering it slightly, and dub up to
about 2/3 of the way towards the eye. Tie in a small clump of deer hair
after you remove the underfur and even the tips. This should ideally
extend from the tie-in point to just about even with the hook point or
maybe the barb. The length of mine varied a bit, depending on which
football game was on tv and how many beers and been consumed while helping
'my' team. Trim the deer hair butts, and then add a bit more dubbing, and
cover the butt ends of the deer hair, whip finishing just behind the eye.
If any long pieces of rabbit guard hairs were sticking out over the eye, I
left them as 'broken antennae'. I haven't tried this particular fly yet,
but intend to in the spring, fishing it in or just under the surface film. |
