Materials

Tying instructions
- Cut some poly yarn into 1 cm pieces.
- Cover the hook shank with thread. Go a little bit down the hook bend.
- Make the thread come back again, so it hangs app. over the hook point.
- Dub the thread with the prepared poly yarn.
- Wind the dubbed thread to a little bit down the hook bend and back again, ending about an eye width from the eye. This should make the fly a bit more volumnious to the rear.
- Tie in poly yarn as the wing on one side of the hook.
- Bend the poly yarn over to the other side of the hook.
- Secure the wings
- Dub the wing base with poly yarn and form a nice head.
- Tease and trim the body to form "legs" and trim the wings.
