1. Slip a black bead through the hook and bring up to the eye. |
||
2. Attach 2 strands of Black Floss and a piece of Medium Ultra Wire just behind the bead, leaving a little space behind the bead. |
||
3. Wrap the material with thread down to the bend of the hook and wrap back to just behind the bead. |
||
4. Wrap the wire forward with every fourth wrap securing the floss on the top of the shank over the previous wire wraps. |
||
5. Wrap the material to just behind the bead and secure with thread wraps. | ||
6. Attach two goose biots in a cross pattern, similar to a prince nymph or copper john, just behind the bead on the top of the hook shank. The tips of the biots should not exceed the length of the hook. | ||
7. Trim off the tag ends of the biots and secure with a couple thread wraps. |
||
8. Clip some fibers from a partridge feather and secure behind the bead on one side of the shank. The length of the fibers should equal the biot length. |
||
9. Attach a second group of partridge fibers to the opposite side of the shank in the same manner as the first. |
||
10. Attach about 4 strands of Krystal Flash behind the bead for an overwing. Clip the tag ends of the material off and trim the flash wing to the same length as the biots. |
||
11. Wrap dubbing as a collar behind the bead to cover the thread wraps. Use a dubbing that has longer strands such as SLF dubbing for movement. | ||
