| Tying Instructions |
Tie in brown floss and wrap down to bend and then back to a point 1/3
from the top. After cut off about 25 hairs of bleached elk and tie in
parachute style. Wrap thread back down to bend and tie in grizzly
hackle. Dub in body using brown superfine up to the eye and end up back
at the post.
Next palmer the grizzly hackle up to the post and tie off. Clip off the
top half of the hackle and then tie in mottled turkey feather tent wing
style, notched side toward the back.
Finally, tie in brown hackle and wrap around post parachute style. Tie
off thread and dab with cement.
I use this fly for slow, shallow, spooky, water. The parachute makes it
easy to see amongst heavy reflections in the late afternoon water. When
tying, I use bleached elk for the post as I find it much easier to use
than calf tail and just as easy to see. And don't worry, it fishes
well....even after the wing has been chewed on! |
