Tying Instructions
Body is turned on dremel lathe from
plug of chartreuse flip flop. A rounded toothpick is
stuck up the back end of the body for ease of handling. A pair of
Darice half bead eyes are applied with CA adhesive. A piece of sheer
curtain fabric is stretched across the body and a quick spritz of
flat black spray paint is applied through the material. A single coat
of unthinned 5 minute epoxy applied to the body with a small brush.
A #6 Aberdeen hook is thread-wrapped, and then a single chartreuse
grizzly hackle is wrapped and tied off.
The rest of the hook is thread-wrapped
to ensure bonding to the body with CA adhesive. The toothpick is removed
from the bug body, and the body is slipped over the eye of the thread-wrapped
and hackled hook with a drop of CA adhesive already applied. Fly is
finished!
