| Tying instruction: |
| 1) Tie in a small bunch
of olive Antron fibers as a trailing shuck. |
|
|
| 2) Dub a tapered
abdomen, leaving ample room for the wing, thorax, and hackle. |
|
|
| 3) Now for the fun part
- the Sail Wing technique. A piece of poly yarn contains much more material than you need,
so use your dubbing needle to split a length of yarn into two or three pieces, according
to the size of the fly. Tie one of the pieces in front of the abdomen as shown, binding it
down with several snug wraps of thread. |
| |
| 4) Raise the forward
end of the poly yarn and make several turns of thread in front of it, propping it upright. |
|
|
| 5) Tie in the hackle at
the rear of the thorax area. Spin some more dubbing on your thread and dub a thorax on the
fly. |
|
|
| 6) Make two wraps of
hackle between the wings and three wraps in front. Tie off the feather and clip the
excess. |
|
|
| 7) Trim the bottom of
the hackle. Gently brush the wing material and then trim the wing to length and shape.
Apply a drop of cement to the head. If necessary, trim the trailing shuck to length. |
