 |
Start by wrapping lead wire onto hook and cover about 2/3’s of hook. |
 |
Tie in thread and secure both ends of lead so it will not slide on hook. |
 |
Tie in brown marabou for the tail. Make it the length of the hook and wrap in excess material to build up the body. |
 |
Cut a 2" long by 1/4" wide section of turkey feather and tie it in at the base of the base with the flexcemented side DOWN. |
 |
Dub in a small ¼" section of fiery brown angora goat at the base of the fly. |
 |
Cut a "V" in a partridge feather to create legs for the fly. |
 |
Position the legs so they face to the tail of the fly and tie in over the dubbed area. |
 |
Pull the turkey feather over the legs to form a wingcase and tie off. |
 |
Pull the excess turkey back over the wingcase just tied in.
Repeat steps 5 to 9 until you have 3-4 wingcases on the fly. |

Whip finish, head cement and the fly is ready for the water. |
