Tying notes: Variation on classic RS2 pattern. Start thread and tie in deer hair close to hook eye and wrap back to bend of hook for uniform body thickness. Trim excess and touch dub beaver dubbing and dub to half way point on shank. Tie in one side of sparkle lace and then fold over and tie in other side and trim. Can help to use a dubbing needle inside loop if needed to even it out. Touch dub again with beaver dubbing and cover wing tie-ins and take to eye of hook and finish.
