By letumgo on Nov 21, 2007 in Classic Streamer and Wet Fly
Hook - Mustad Model 3906 / Size 6
Thread - Black UNI-Thread (6/0)
Under Body - Silver Mylar Tinsel (Size #14)
Mid-Body/Butt - Insect Green Danville Rayon Floss (One Strand)
Outer Body - Golden Brown UNI-Floss (One Strand split in half to reduce bulk)
NOTE - The golden brown floss body is painted with one coat of Superglue to give the body a hard shiny finish like a caramel apple. Allow the body to dry before going on to add the soft hackle feather.
Hackle - Ruffled Grouse Body Feather (One side stripped)
Materials are all tyed in at the front of the hook and wound to the back and to the front again. Leave room for the head and hackle at the front of the hook (roughly 1.5 hook eye lengths).
