Tying Instructions
|
| Step 1: |
Mount the hook in the vise and attach the thread to hook
using a jam knot about 1/8th inch from the eye.
Wrap thread back to the bend stopping above the barb.
|
| Step 2: |
Remove a few red hackle fibers from the stem, even the
tips and tie in above the barbs.
|
| Step 3: |
Cut a 3 – 4 inch piece of the body material.
Tie on above the barb and wrap forward toward the eye.
Tie off and clip the excess.
|
| Step 4: |
Remove some more red hackle fibers from the stem and tie
them in under the hook about 1/4th inch from the eye.
Option: Turn the hook over so the point of the
hook is up.
|
| Step 5: |
Select some yellow Marabou. Measure to a length that will
extend just beyond the hook bend.
Tie in at the head end of the fly.
|
| Step 6: |
Tie in 5 peacock herls on top of the marabou.
Trim the excess.
|
| Step 7: |
Whip finish and cement the head |
