Step 1 cover the shank with tying thread
and attach the hackle fibers to make a table.
|
Step 2 move the thread to about the two-thirds
mark and attach a section of bright green
antron yarn.
|
Step 3 stand it up and make a few
turns of tying thread before and after the
post to stand it up. I even take a couple of
turns around the base of the post.
|
Step 4 add a drop of head cement to the base
of the post.
|
Step 5 spin a little dubbing on the tying thread
and form a slim body.
|
Step 6 stroke a hackle to make the tips stand out
perpendicular to the stem. Strip the fibers from
one side and attach the hackle near the base of
the post. Apply more dubbing through the thorax area.
|
Step 7 wrap the hackle around the post, making sure that the
the striped side is to the post and the cureve of
the hackle is down.
|
Step 8 make a smooth head and whip finish.
