| Tying Instructions |
1. Start thread on hook, tie in a pair of bead chain eyes. (leaving
space for a head.) Then wind back to hook bend.
2. Tie in a dozen brown hackle fibers. Attach a piece of narrow oval
gold tinsel at the base of the tail.
3. Dub the abdomen. Wind the tinsel over the abdomen to form the rib.
Tie off the rib and clip the excess.
4. Flip the fly over. Remove the core from a piece of narrow pearlescent
tubing, tie the tubing in front of the abdomen.
5. Dub the thorax.(Be sure to wrap some of the dubbing between the bead
chain eyes.)
6. Pull the tubing over the thorax to form the wing case. Tie down the
tubing and clip the excess. Complete the head and tie off.
7. Make the legs by picking out some of the dubbing in the thorax.
8. Place a drop of Epoxy or head cement on the wing pad. |
