| Tying Instructions |
Tie in the tail fibers one at a time on each side of the hook shank so
that they remain split. Measure two pieces of lead or lead substitute
equal to just a bit less than the shank length. Lay one piece along one
side of the shank and completely wrap towards the eye keeping the lead
parallel with the hook. Tie the remaining piece on the opposite side in
the same manner wrapping back towards the bend. Tie in a piece of fine
copper wire and then dub the body about 2/3 of the shank. Spiral the
copper over the body and tie off and trim. Tie on a 1/4" slip of
mottled turkey quill with the good side down and the tip of the feather
facing rearward. Dub forward about 1/2 of the remaining shank. Using a
dubbing needle, crease the turkey feather and fold forward over the
dubbing. Tie off the turkey and fold back again towards the rear.
Prepare a partridge hackle by removing the fluff and one side of the
fibers. Tie in the tip, wrap on the hackle and tie off and trim the
excess. Dub the remainder of the body to just behind the eye. Repeat
the folding of the turkey feather and tie off. Trim the excess and whip
finish...Voila!
Happy fishin'...enjoy...byard |
