Easy
- Wind on layers of copper tape to build a tapered body using your thumbnail to break the tape off between layers. Leave room behind the hook eye to tie in the eyes and the wing.
- Run on the tying thread, make tight wraps over the body, and then coat with varnish.
- Tie in the eyes with figure of eight thread wraps.
- Cut a bunch of wing fibres to twice the desired length, taper by pulling out the ends and add a few strands of crystal flash.
- Tie in by the middle on top of the hook behind the eyes.
- Pull the fibres between the eyes, around the hook eye, and tie in behind the eyes.
- Whip finish, remove the thread and varnish around the head and eyes.
