Material List: Two Section Fly
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tail Section:
Hook: Dai-Riki #810 or Mustad #3366 Size 6
Tail: 4 Hackles to match the body with tips clipped so they are forked
Body: Marabou to match tail palmered
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tail Section to Body Section connection:
Take a 5"-6" piece of 20lb mono and slide tail hook to the center. Bend the mono evenly and thread pearl beads over BOTH ends of mono to lock on the trailer. You want atleast an inch of space between the body and tail. Secure to the front hook leaving enough play to allow the back hook to move freely but tight enough to keep the mono stiff.
