Tying Instructions 1.Tie in thread just in front of hook bend and dub a large, loose, tapered body of Pale Orange Haretron. 2.Tie in a tent shaped wing of turkey tail that you have coated with Flexament. 3.Spin a pencil sized bundle of elk hair for the head and wing and clip to the shape shown 4.Whip finish and cement. Method: While some use a traditional wet fly swing, I prefer to use a light wire hook and either skate it over the riffles or use a dry fly dead drift in calmer water. |
