 Fly Tier: Jim Lafley |

Tying Instruction : 1) Push a silver bead over the hook bend to the eye of the hook. 2) Place hook in vise and tie on thread near hook bend. 3) Tie on short tail of Turkey or Mallard feather. 4) Dub an underbody of rabbit fur with no guard hairs. Make a smooth tapered body from the tail to the bead. 5) Work thread back to the tail and dub a coarse overbody of rabbit fur with guard hairs included for 3/4 of the body. 6) Tie on one whole mallard feather 1/4 the hook shank length from the bead. Tie on mallard so that the wing tip extends beyond the tail and you still have enough up front for a wing case. 7) Dub a thorax with coarse rabbit hair and pull the wing case over the thorax and tie down behind the bead. 8) Tie off and whip finish. Note : Dick Blair pattern. |
