Tying Instructions: 1. Wind yarn onto an empty thread spool and mount in a material bobbin. 2. Crimp barb on hook, slide bead to eye and place hook in vise. 3. Tie in yarn about 3 bead widths back from the bead, wrap to bead, then wrap tightly back to bend, wrap back to tie in. 4. Whip finish yarn, the whip finish should give you a bump to suggest a thorax. 5. Trim tie-in tag flush with the bend of the hook, cut the tie-off tag long enough for wing. 6. Unravel and tease wing wing with bodkin. Treat entire body with Loon Outdoor solvent head cement (or equivelant) and let dry. |
