Tying Instructions: 1. Tie in thread and wrap to 1/3 behind eye. Tie in floss tail, bind back to hook point. 2. Dub body. 3. Tie in squirrel so that fibers splay out over a 60 degree or so arc. Do not extend past hook bend. 4. Tie in hen neck wings. Lift to upright position and secure. 5. Tie in grizzly and hackle sparsely Notes: This is a good pattern to tie sparse. It rides low, which makes the white wings a nice feature for the fisherman. I omit them for 18's though... too tough. It makes a very nice searching pattern and a good hatch buster. I'd bet in lighter colors it would do well through the late spring and early summer too. |
