|
Hook: |
Tiemco 100 #12-14 |
| Thread: |
UNI 6/0 light grey |
| Tail: |
Coq de leon hackle fibers |
| Abdomen: |
Peacock quill wrapped over Loctite glue |
| Wing: |
2 CDC feather tips, natural dun |
| Thorax: |
Antron dubbing, orange |
| Hackle: |
2-3 turns around the CDC base in the color you like |
Note: The slim body with natural segmentation of the peacock quill and the marks of the hackle in the surface seem to imitate the natural insect very well. The CDC wing in combination with the parachute hackle results in good floatability.
