Hook: Tiemco 100 Size 12
16 (Any Dry Fly Hook Will Do)
Thread: # 6 Black
Tail: Moose Body
Body: Fluorescent Red Hareline Dubbing
Wing: White Calf Body
Hackle: Furnace
Instructions:
Lay in a good thread base from Eye to hook bend. Form a small lump
of tying thread at hook bend. This will help spread the tail
fibres. Stack 6 to 12 moose body hairs, measure them the length of
the hook shank and tie in at the hook bend. Wind the thread forward
to a point 1/3 the way back of the eye. Stack a small clump of
white calf body hair and measure it to the length o the shank. Tie
in the calf at the point you left the tying thread, with the tips
pointing forward. Stand the hair upright to form a wing post and
build a thread dam in front of the wing. Split the wing in ½ and
figure-eight the tying thread between them forming 2 wings about 60°
apart. Make a tight dubbing loop of the red dubbing and wind on to
the base of the wing. tie off. Tie in one or two furnace (or
brown) hackles buy their butts with the tips pointing back, at the
base of the wing. Take 2 or 3 wraps of the hackle behind the wing,
then make a figure-eight pass through the wing and back before
finishing the final 4 or 5 wraps in front of the wing. Form a
thread head and tie off. Once completed, clip the bottoms of the
hackle off to form a 60° vee on the bottom. This lets the fly ride
low giving a better profile. The red dubbing seems garish, but this
is my number one searching pattern. It is uncanny the number of
fish it will raise when there dont seem to be any feeding on the
surface.
