Tying Instructions

1. Select a strip of closed cell foam about a quarter inch wide and tie
down to the hook covering about 3/4 of the hook shank. Move the thread
back to the starting point.

2. Secure the ribbing wire to the hook.

3. Create an under-body of yarn or dubbing.(I like dubbing and used East
Coast Dubbings sulphur yellow) Return the thread to the starting point.

4. Pull the foam forward over the hook and secure to the starting point.
Notice how the foam extends over the hook bend.

5. Rib the body down to the hook with even wraps of wire.

6. Create an elk hair wing about the same length as the wing on a
stimulator fly. Wrap the foam all the way to the hook eye and return the
thread to the base of the wing.

7. Fold the foam back over the hook and secure at the base of the wing
as shown. Trim the foam to form a tag end that extends slightly over the
base of the wing.

8. Tie in a pair of rubber legs on each side of the hook as shown. If
you need to, straighten the legs out before you cinch the thread tight.

9. Clip the legs to be even on both sides of the fly and cement your
whip finish knot.
