Tying Steps (Click on Pictures for a bigger image): Step 1: Put the bead on and wrap lead wire around the hook shank 10 - 13 times. Start the thread just behind the lead wire and use to to secure the wire in place. Step 2: Get two opposing white goose boits and tie them in so that they are about a 1/2 of the shank in length. Step 3: Next tie in the copper wire for the rib. Step 4: Dub the body up to about 80% from the bend of the hook, be sure not to dub the body to thick, the thiner the better. Step 5: Wrap the copper wire forward for the rib. Step 6: Next tie in the flashabou followed by the thin skin. The thin skin should be tied in so that the shiny side is facing down. Step 7: Now dub the thorax, leaving about 5% of the shank behind the bead free. Step 8: Tie in the partridge feather for legs, to make this easier cut the feather so that there is a V at the top, the legs should be about 1/3 of the shank in length. Step 9: Pull the thin skin and flashabou over the top of the thorax and secure it with the thread. Cut of the excess thin skin and flashabou and whip finish/ head cememt. Step 10: Cover the back of the fly with 5 minute epoxy, and allow it time to dry. The rest of the pictures show the finished product, above is a top shot and below is a bottom shot. |
