 Fly Tier: Ian Martin |
|
Tying Instruction : 1) Tie on thread near bend of hook. 2) Wrap thread 1/3 of the way around the hook bend and dub a fat stubby section of green dubbing back to the where the hook bend starts. 3) Split a piece of Antron yarn in half. Take one half and singe one end. 4) Tie the Antron on to the hook so it forms a trailing shuck around the dubbed back section. 5) Take 4-6 CDC feathers and tie them on by their tips at the hook bend. 6) Dub a body with a slightly reversed taper, so that the fat end starts at the trailing shuck. 7) Pull the CDC feathers over the body and tie down with 2 wraps of thread. 8) Use a bodkin (needle) to form a loop in the CDC. Stick bodkin under the CDC and pull up. 9) Tie a neat head and leave a little CDC over hanging the hook eye. Note : Ian Martin gave this fly to me, unfortunately it has been fished, so it's probably not the best example. Maybe I can scrounge another one off of him? |
