Tying Instructions: UV Yellow Sally



	1. Mash the barb of the hook down with the vise and secure the hook. Slide the bead onto the hook.
	2. Re-secure the hook onto the vise and attach the thread behind the bead wrapping a thread foundation to the bend of the hook.
	3. Select a strand of flexfloss and secure the strand to the side of the hook shank at the bend of the hook. Secure the strand about 1/4 of the hook shank length.
	4. Bring the tag end of the flexfloss over the top of the shank and along the opposite side of the shank, securing the strand along the side of the hook to the bend. You should have a "V" shape of floss off the bend of the hook for a tail.
	5. Wrap the thread up to the bead and insert a small copper wire into the bead cavity securing the wire along the bottom of the hook shank.
	6. Secure the wire along the bottom of the shank to the bend of the hook. Select a Turkey Biot and secure the biot to the top of the hook shank at the bend of the hook. The curve of the biot should face the bead.
	7. Apply some hareline dubbing to the thread. I am using a Light Cahill color. Bring the dubbing up to the bend of the hook and lock the dubbing to the shank with a tight thread wrap.
	8. Dub a tapered abdomen to the mid-point of the shank.
	9. Bring the biot over the dubbed abdomen for a wingback segment and secure with a couple of tight threadwraps.
	10. Use the copper wire to rib the abdomen. 5 spirol wraps give a good segmented appearance. Secure the tag end of the wire with thread wraps in front of the abdomen and remove the tag end of the wire with a "helicopter" twist of the wire.
	11. Next, apply some ice dubbing to the thread. I am using UV Tan.
	12. Create a small ball of ice dubbing in front of the abdomen.
	13. Bring the tag end of the wingback biot over the ball of ice dubbing for your first wing segment. Secure into position with a couple of thread wraps.
	14. Attach a strand of flexfloss in front of the ice dubbing with "x" wraps and sweep the strands back with thread wraps.
	15. Apply some additional ice dubbing to the thread.
	16. Create another ball of dubbing in front of the first ball.
	17. Attach a second biot segment beind the bead with the segment overlapping the first one.
	18. Tie in a second pair of legs behind the bead with "X" wraps.
	19. Apply a ice dubbing to the thread for a final thorax application. This dubbing will be applied behind the bead.
	20. Wrap a a tight ball of dubbing behind the bead, sweeping the legs backward.
	21. Now, bring the tag end of the second biot segment over ball for a third section of wings. Trim the wing section so that it overlaps the second segment.
	22. Whip Finish behind the bead.
	23. Trim the flexfloss tail and legs to length you prefer. The Finished UV Yellow Sally.
