Marabou

Tying Instructions: CDC Baetis Dun


	1. Attach the thread behind the eye and lay a thread foundation to the bend of the hook.
	2. At the bend of the hook, create a small bump of thread to help splay the tail fibers. Select 4-5 tailing fibers with the tips even and secure just in front of the bump with two thread wraps. Pull the tag ends until the tail length is equal to the shank length.
	3. Place your thumbnail under the tailing fibers to splay them, then secure with 3-4 tight wraps just in front of the bump.
	4. Wrap the thread forward securing all of the tag end up to the thorax position. Trim off the reamaining tag ends.
	5. Wrap back to the tail and dub a small amount of Super Fine dubbing around the thread. Wrap the dubbed thread around the shank once to secure the fibers to the shank, then twist the dubbing around the thread to tighten the material.
	6. Wrap the dubbing forward into a tapered body, stopping at the 3/4 position where the thorax will be.
	7. Select two plumes of CDC with the tips even. Place the plumes on top of the hook shank and secure with two thread wraps at the 3/4 position.
	8. Grasp the tag ends of the two CDC Plumes and pull the material until the tips are about one shank length long. Then secure with a couple of tight thread wraps.
	9. Wrap the thread in front and behind the CDC to lift the material into a vertical position.
	10. Trim the rear tag end at a slant cut where the inner fibers are almost as long as the front section,
	11. Secure some additional dubbing to the thread for a thorax.
	12. Wrapping the dubbed thread in a figure eight around the CDC plumes will lift the material into a vertical position. Wrap a small thread head and whip finish.
