Take another 1/3 of the hair and tie 2 wraps of thread around it. |

Cut some CDC fibers into a dish and then dub the CDC onto your thread and wrap a nice thin body. Once you hit the wing, pull the wing back and dub a small head onto the fly. |

Whip finish, tie off and the fly is ready for the water. Remember: DO NOT use any wet floatant on CDC (like Gink) or you will ruin the fly. Only use DRY silica powder floatants. |
