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 eye. Continue wrapping thread to the bend stopping above the barb.
|
| Step 2: |
Remove approximately ten fibers from the brown hackle. Even the tips and tie in at the bend.
|
| Step 3: |
Wax about one inch of thread. Dub a small amount of muskrat dubbing on the thread.
Wrap back to the bend, then forward to 1/8th inch from the eye. Wax thread and add
dubbing as necessary. Tie off.
|
| Step 4: |
Select a hen hackle and tie in where the thread was stopped in step 3.
Trim butts. Attach hackle pliers and take two turns around the shank. Tie off. Trim excess.
|
| Step 5: |
Remove about fifteen fibers from a lemon wood duck flank feather. Measure so the fibers extend
just past the hook bend. Tie off and trim excess.
|
| Step 6: |
