|
Step By Step:
|
Start thread at eye. Tie in Mylar tinsel and wrap back to the bend, and return wrap back to the eye. Trim excess tinsel.
|
Prepare mixture of red and yellow buck tail, pre trim to length (just past hook bend), and tie down.
|
Tie in a few strands of pearl flashabou for the next wing.
|
Continue adding the required wings of yellow buck tail, pearl flashabou, and green buck tail.
|
Tie in red hackle feather by the tip.
|
Make a few wraps of the feather and tie off. Pull down the fibers evenly on both sides of the shank and wrap back over the fibers a bit to form the throat
|
Slick fibers back and secure.
|
Whip finish head; add eyes if desired and cement.
|
Additional Tips/Photos:
|
- This fly was created by Walt Grau, a well know Pere Marquette river guide.
- I like to tie this pattern with small adhesive eyes with a thick coat of head cement covering the entire head.
