Easy
- Cover the hook shank with tying thread
- Tie in a few mallard fibers as a tail
- Add 10-12 wraps of weight to the front of the hook shank
- Cover the weight with tying thread
- Tie in cobber wire for the rib pointing to the rear
- Cover the shank with a generous amount of dubbing
- Tie in a soft hackle tip in the front, stem first, curved side forward
- Wrap the hackle to the rear in 3-4 open turns
- Counterwrap with the copper wire to secure hackle
- Tie down, trim rib surplus and hackle tip
- Form a fairly large head, whip finish and cut off thread

- When dry, brush the fly thoroughly with Velcro to tease out the dubbing and fuse it with the hackle
