Hook: Tiemco 100
# 12 18
Thread: Black #6
Tail: Bleached Moose Body
Body: Scintilla Primrose Dubbing
Wing: Deer Body
Instructions: Lay down a good thread base on the hook shank.
Run thread back to hook bend and form a ball of tying thread at the
hook bend. Stack and measure 6-10 moose body hairs the length of the
hook shank and tie in over the ball of tying thread (this will cause
the hairs to flair). Wind the thread back to a point 1/3 back of the
hook eye. Stack 20 or so deer hair fibres so the tips are even.
Measure deer hair to the length of the hook shank and tie in at the
1/3 point with tips pointing forward. Stand hair upright and build a
substantial thread dam in front of the wing. Once the wing is
standing up well and the thread is still in front, fold 2/3 of the
hair back towards the tail and take a thread wrap between the
remaining 1/3 and the folded portion. Release ½ of the hair you are
holding back and take another thread wrap behind the released hair.
Now stand all hair upright and take 5 or 6 wraps behind the wing to
form another thread dam. Wind the thread back to the tail tie-in
point. Form a tight dubbing loop and wind forward to the eye of the
hook. Build d the dubbing up around the wing base to form a thorax.
Build a neat thread head and whip\ finish. Fan out the wing to about
160°. When I am fishing the upper Skagit, I usually start the day
off with this fly. Often I dont change to anything else! |
