MATERIALS
HOOK: Partridge Klinkhammer
HOT SPOT: Hends Body Quill
BODY: Hends Body Quill
WING: Snowshoe Rabbit Foot
POST: Foam Cylinder
THORAX: Hare's Ear Dubbing
Step 1
Wind the Body Quill around the hook to form your hot spot.
Step 2
Tie down the Body Quill with the second colour of Body Quill that you are going to use for the body of the fly.
Step 3
Form the body of your fly. Make sure you form a nice taper. Attache your thread to the hook eye and tie down the Body Quill. Cut of the excess.
Step 4
Tie in the snowshoe rabbit hair just like you would tie in Elk hair for a Elk hair caddis. Snip of the excess towards the hook eye.
Step 5
Tie in your foam post
Step 6
Spin some dubbing around your thread and form the thorax and legs. Whip finish and trim the foam post.

Great looking fly. Thanks for the tying sequence.
ReplyDeleteI fish a fly called The Usual, using snowshoe rabbit entirely for the fly. They are very effective.
Thanks
