| Tying Instructions |
| Start behind the eye of the hook and wrap thread to the butt end
of the hook.Tie in a small bunch of deer hair making a small
tail. Then tie in one peacock herl and then go to the front of
the hook allowing space for a hackle and the deer hair wing.
Tie in one stand of orange sparkle yarn. Wrap the yarn to the
tail and then back up to the beginning of where you tied in the
yarn. Secure the yarn, then wrap the peacock herl rib
to the front of the fly. Attach the brown hackle and put two or
three wraps on the hook. Tie the hackle off and then put on
enough to make a nice wing appearance and finish off the head. |
| Fishing Tips |
| This is a fly pattern we use as a searching pattern when the
fish are not rising and definitely when fish are rising.
We found the fly to work well when the caddis hatches occured.
This pattern was good also in kelly green, gold, and black. |
