Instructions: Halfback Emerger



	1. Tie in copper wire for rib along the side of the shank ending at the bend of the hook above the hook barb.
	2. Attach 3-4 pheasant tail fibers at the bend of the hook by the tips and secure up to the midpoint of the shank.
	3. Wrap the pheasant tail fibers forward counter-clockwise to the 2/3 position of the hook shank. Tie off and trim
	4. Clip a small portion of z-lon and extend the fibers past the bend of the hook by about a shank length. Secure the z-lon with the copper ribbing placing spiral wraps clockwise up to the 2/3 position. The z-lon should lay on top of the wrapped shank.

	7. Pull the deer hair forward over the top to form the wingcase.
