Fit bead onto the hook, pinching the barb might be necessary. Add several wraps of lead and secure it
from slipping by tying a small "dam" of tying thread behind it.
Select 2 black marabou plumes, align the tips and tie on as shown. The butt-ends should end where at the lead wraps.
Tie in the gold wire and dub a tapered body of angora goat. Leave a bit of room behind the bead.
This recipe is compliments of Rob O'Reily.
Tie in 4 strands of black Krystal Flash and begin to tighten-back as shown.
Wind the wire forward in open wraps, over the Krystal Flash to hold it down. Tie the wire off and trim.
Using your bodkin (or a needle, or a toothpick) pick-out the dubbing on the top and bottom between the wire wraps.
When you are happy with the level of "bulk," sroke all he fibers back and tie-off behind the bead.Trim the Krystal Flash so that some strands are shorter than the tail, some longer. Add head cement to the wraps.
Your finished product.
