| Tying Instructions |
Place hook in vice, so that most of the bend is accessible. Attach the
tying thread to the hook and bring way down into the bend. Take a length of
mono, crimp with pliers about .5 inch from one end. Tie in just beyond the
crimped area and wrap tying thread all the way to where the thorax will
start (about halfway down shank). Cut the trapped end of the mono under 45
degrees and cover. Wrap the free end of the mono forward in touching turns
to where the thorax will start, crimp and tie off with thread. Clip excess.
Bring the thread to the eye. Choose two well-sized (i.e. rather large) CDC
feathers and place them on top of each other (same curvature). Align the
tips and tie in behind the eye, with tips pointing backwards, and butts
extending beyond eye. Stroke the barbules towards the tips, make a loop
with the butts, bringing them back over the shank (the loop should be about
2/3 to 1/1 time the size of the hook) and secure. Clip the butts.
Dub the seals fur or sub onto the thread and make a nice 'buggy' thorax
between the mono abdomen and the CDC loop just beind the eye. Whip finish
just behind the loop (three turns will suffice - use no cement).
Fish as a dry, static to cruising fish. Use a patch of Amadou to
occasionally dry the CDC loop.
