Tying instructions
- Tie in a thin strip of tungsten foil on the underside of the shank. Let the thread come over several times to secure it. Add a little super glue
- Tie in a small bunch of teal, at the bend - if you like.
- Tie in the first pair of antennas. Tied so they are pointing away from each other.
- Tie in the mouth part hackle. Make a few turns and form a nice collar around the antennas.
- Tie in a pair of Ultrahair. They should be fairly long.
- Tie in a pair of Fly Eyes or home made ones . They should curve away from each other - slightly.
- Tie in the rib.
- Tie in the body/palmer hackle.
- Dub the body with SLF, so it gets tapered against the hook eye.
- Let the body hackle follow. Make sure to get the fibres pointing downwards and backwards
- Tie in 1-2 pieces of antron yarn at the hook eye.
- Take the antron yarn over the hook bend. Secure it just behind the syes with the ribbing.
- Rib the fly in more and more narrow turns against the hook eye.
- Whipfinish.
- Use your dubbing brush, to make the fibres and the dubbing come outon the underside.
- Varnish the head and give the back a small amount too.
