Start the thread behind the bend
and wrap a
thread base as you move towards the eye. Stop the thread 1/8"
behind the eye. |
 |
Using the pinch method, tie in a small
bunch of calftail for the tail. The tail should be
approximately equal in length to the gap of the hook (distance
from point to shank). Bind down the butt of the tail material as
you wrap to front tie in point. |
 |
Tie in a 5" piece of tan chenille
using the pinch method. Secure with 3 tight thread
wraps. Trim any excess over the eye. |
 |
Hold the chenille on your side of
the hook, parallel to the shank and bind down as you wind the
thread to the rear tie in point. Wrap the thread back towards the eye,
binding down the chenille. Apply some head cement to the
body. Then wrap the chenille in close wraps toward the front
tie in point. |
 |
Secure the chenille with 3 or 4 tight
thread wraps. Form a small thread head and use 3 half
hitches or a whip finish to finish the fly. Put some head
cement on the thread head. |
