Dubbing
Hackle:
Black hen
Wing:
Black bear
Tying Instructions: I like to start the hackle in at what would be the thorax area and tie it "spey" style. I also like to keep the wing a little short. The original pattern calls for a red hackle tail but I replace that with red tag. If using the hackle tail I would tie the wing in longer.
Presentation Tips: Swing and lift.
