Tying Instructions:

1. Set hook in vise. Wrap down thread to secure eyes on top of hook shank.

2. One eye length behind hook eye, tie on lead eyes on top of hook shank with an "x" wrap. Just behind lead eyes, tie double hitch on shank, then liberally apply head cement or super glue.

3. Wrap down shank to just above barb and tie on the tail material, which should extend behind the fly the length of the body. Wrap back toward the lead eyes over the rabbit hide to create a thin body. If a thicker body is desired, dub on a wool body.
