Start thread and wind back to the bend. Tie in approx. 8 hackle fibers and trim the butts.
Dub the body forward, stopping where shown.
Align the tips of approx. 6 CDC feathers (the "trash" feathers are fine) and tie in as shown. Trim the butts and makes several wraps of thread to secure and smooth the tie-in point.
This recipe is compliments of Rob O'Reily.
Make a few wraps of dubbing in front of the wing to complete the fly, tie-off.
