Hook: #12-16 wet fly

Tying Instructions:

1. Tie in thread at hook point. Make 2 - 3 tight, touching wraps of thread.

2. Dub thread sparsely. If you can not see the thread through the dubbing, you're using too much.

3. Dub to behind eye. Tie in hen hackle.

4. Make 1 - 2 sparse turns of hackle, tie off, secure and trim.
