Marabou



	1. Attach the thread a lay a thread base to the bend of the hook.
	2. Tie in a Pheasant Rump feather by the tips. The tips serve as the tail which should extend less than 3/4 shank length from the bend.
	3. Trim the rump feather and save it (you can use it for the hackle collar). At the base of the tail, attach the ribbing and 3-4 peacock herls by their tips.
	4. Strengthen the herl by wrapping it around the thread forming a chennille.
	5. Wrap the herl chennille forward to about 1-2 eyelengths behind the eye, depending upon how much hackling you prefer.
	6. Reverse wind the ribbing forward with evenly spaced spiral wraps. This will help prevent herl breakage.
	7. Tie is the rump hackle, again by the tip just in front of the body.
	8. Wrap the hackle 1-2 times for a collar.
	9. Use your thread to wrap the hackles back in a sweep. Create a head and whip finish.
