Previous Page << 10. Dub the thread with black Hare-Tron, and create a small thorax. It is important not to crowd the eye of the hook.  11. Tie in a second set of black hackle legs, as described in step 7, and lightly coat them with head cement.  12. Move the thread towards the eye of the hook and tie in small black plastic (or burnt mono) eyes using the figure 8 method.  13. Tie in the second wingcase at the base of the thorax tied during step 10. Trim excess Thin Skin.  14. Tie in the 3rd and final set of legs in the same fashion as steps 7 and 12, and again coat lightly with head cement.  15. Tie in a slightly tapered strip of black Thin Skin (width should match size of the gap between plastic eyes), with the tapered end pointing towards the tail of the fly, and extending about 1/4". Trim any excess that is pointing towards the eye of the hook.  16. Apply a small amount of black Hare-Tron dubbing to finish the thorax and wind the thread to the eye of the hook.  17. Pull the strip of Thin Skin (that was tied in during step 15) forward and tie off at the eye of the hook. This produces the final component of the wingcase assembly.  18. Finish the fly by tying in 2 very fine black quill body tips as the antennae. Whip finish and lacquer. Using a heated bodkin "fold" or bend all 3 sets of lacquered legs so that they point to the rear of the hook and down. Apply more head cement to finalize the curves as needed.  Although these patterns take more than a few minutes to tie, they are deadly of all sorts of trout, ranging from residential browns, right down to migratory rainbows - otherwise known as steelhead. Happy tying!
