Tying Tips |
STEP1
Begin by tying in a clump of gold Holo flash-a-bou. Match the tips of three sets of hackles: Orange, Chartruese & Olive. Splay out one set to the far side, then splay out another set on the near side. Both sets should match evenly ( ie all 6 hackles should match.......splay out means the feathers curve out, away from each other..... ) |
|
STEP2
Spin a collar of chartreuse deer hair on the bottom of the fly, then spin a collar of green deer hair on top. Repeat until the head is full. Trim the deer hair so that the head is flat on the sides and has an oval shape. Cemment in eyes. That's it! |
