Fly: Wayne Luallen, Photographs: Hans Weilenmann
|
Hook: |
Daiichi 1130 #18-26 |
| Thread: |
Gudebrod 10/0 color to match thorax (contrasting color of ribbing thread -- usually 10/0 Gudebrod) |
| Shuck: |
Micro Z-lon |
| Rib: |
clockwise twisted thread (slightly darker than abdomen to enhance
segmentation) wound conventional direction that migrates from hook bend to
eye in a natural progression so that no real effort is required to place the
winds. Also twisted will sink into the flat winds of thread helping protect
them from fraying |
| Abdomen: |
Flat thread, very thin |
| Thorax: |
Mole, color to match the natural |
| Wing: |
Nature's Spirit CDC "Tuft" white or dun |
| Hackle: |
Whiting Farms hackle, trimmed in a "V" underneath so that the fly
does not ride like a vertical parachute, but at a 45 degree angle on and in
(the shuck and abdomen) the water |
| Antennae: |
The quill end of the CDC "Tuft" trimmed to length |
