Tying Instructions
|
| Step 1: |
Mount the hook in the vise and attach the thread to hook
using a jam knot about 1/8th from the eye. |
| Step 2: |
Select two grizzly hackle tips.
Measure to shank length.
Tie in at the jam knot.
Trim the butts. Raise the tips up and wrap thread in front of them so that
the wings will stand upright.
|
| Step 3: |
Select two hackles – one grizzly and one brown.
Lay the hackles between the wings and tie them off in back of
the wings. Trim excess.
|
| Step 4: |
Wrap thread back to above the barb.
Select a mixture of brown and grizzly hackle fibers (roll
them between your thumb and forefinger to mix).
Even the tips and tie in above the barb.
Trim excess butts.
|
| Step 5: |
Wax thread and add dubbing about an inch at a time.
Wrap up the shank toward the eye.
Stop just short of the wings.
|
| Step 6: |
Wrap the brown hackle three turns behind the wings then
continue in front of the wings.
Repeat this with the grizzly hackle.
Trim excess.
|
| Step 7: |
Whip finish and cement the head.
