Tying Instructions:

1) Place the glass bead on hook.  Place hook in vise and secure thread, ending just into bend.  Glass bead should be at the hook eye out of the way for now.

2) Tie in one strand of pearl Krystal Flash, extending two inches beyond bend.

3) Tie in silver wire by lashing the tag end to the top or side of the hook shank, then bring thread forward to tip of hook point. Wind wire forward to thread and tie down, clip the excess.

4) Form a small ball of dubbing just in front of hook point, over the wire tie-off area, behind the glass bead.

5) Bring thread to in front of the glass bead and take a couple turns of the thread.  Push the glass bead back gently, to snug up against the dubbing.

6) Tie in white CDC feather just behind eye, in front of the glass bead.  Length of the fibers should be equal to the length of the entire hook. Take one full turn of hackle, tie off, clip excess.  (You can employ any number of techniques to apply the CDC hackle, including dubbing loops, or tie a bundle of fibers on in their middle that surrounds the hook shank and fold them back then bring the thread in front.)

7) Whip finish, cement thread wraps.
