Tying Instructions: Tie in the tail followed by the Gold Ribbing Wrape the floss body and tie off. Dub the purple body in and wrap the gold tinsel forward. Tie in the squirrel wing adding several wraps underneath so that it doesn't lay flat after hackle is added. Strip the hackle on one side and tie in. Push the hackle back slightly and wrap thread up the collar slightly to provide the swept back affect.
