Wind on a body of thread in touching turns

Tie in a tail of golden pheasant crest and a silver wire rib

Dub on some Black Seals Fur - I have used a sub because i don’t have any real stuff left

Wind up the dubbed fur to make the body

Make the fly more secure by winding the rib in nice open turns

Turn the vice upsides-down and tie in a throat hackle of blue guinea fowl or blue jay

Now for the wing. Take a bunch of bronze mallard - I didn’t have any so I used teal dyed brown. Tie in the wing

Whip Finish and Varnish
