Materials
| Hook | Stainless or salt resistant, down eye, #4-6. I use a Kamasan B175 | | Thread | Tan 6/0 | | Body | Large, natural CDC feather | | Eyes | Bead chain or dumbbell | | Head/wing | Natural deer hair |
Tying instructions
- Tie in the thread at the back of the hook shank
- Select a large CDC feather and pull the fibres parallell
- Tie in the CDC feather tip first catching the fibres just in front of the hook bend
- Wind the thread forwards to a spot an eye width or two behind the hook eye
- Follow with the CDC feather. the first part will be quite smooth, but moving forwards more and more fibres will stick out and create a furry body
- Tie down the CDC feather and trim surplus
- Tie in eyes on top of the hook shank between the body and the hook eye
- Stack a small bunch of deer hair and trim butt ends
- Spin a head and wing on the underside of the hook shank.
- Tips should reach the hook point and the head formed should just barely cover the hook eye
- Whip finish, cut thread and varnish the base of eyes and the deer hair
