Streamer

- Start the thread at the bend of the hook
- Tie in a few red barbules as a tail
- Prepare a narrow zonker strip
- Split the zonker strip right over the rear end of the body. Wetting it might ease the process
- Make sure its front end reaches the front end of the hook
- Tie the strip down with 10-20 tight turns of thread
- Leave it there for now
- Create a large dubbing loop
- Cut Angel Hair or a similarly fine flash material into 1-2 cm (3/4") long pieces
- Place in the loop and spin
- Wind to just behind the hook eye to form a body. Leave room for hackle and head
- Tie down and cut surplus dubbing loop
- You can trim the body now or when the fly is finished
- Pull the zonker strip tightly forwards, trim right in front of the body and tie down
- Tie in a hackle, stem first, curved side forwards, in front of the strip and wind it 2-3 turns forwards
- Tie it down and cut off the hackle surplus
- Create a head and whip finish
- Varnish the thread to the rear and the head
- Trim the body if not already done
