Tying Instructions:
1.) Insert hook into vise
and secure thread onto shank, ending at bend.
2.) Clip a small, short
section of the down-like fluff on a pheasant aftershaft
feather. Tie in at bend so length is about half to equal the hook
gap.
3.) Tie in a brown turkey
biot on top of the shank by the tip so the butt end
curves downward. Wind thread forward to a point halfway
between tip of point and eye of hook. Pull biot to the
far side, then down. Continue wrapping forward, forming
a ribbed abdomen. Tie off at thread and clip excess.
4.) Tie in a strip of
holographic Flashabou on top of the hook, excess
extending to rear of hook.
5.) Dub a thorax about twice
the diameter of the abdomen, of black mink or beaver.
End the thorax about one half hook eye distance behind
eye.
6.) Pull Flashabou forward
over thorax and tie down at thread. Clip excess.
7.) Whip finish and cement
the thread wraps and biot abdomen.
