Varnish thread close to hook eye up the shank.
Hold the rabbit strips parallel and begin to wrap them carefully around the hook shank at the same time.
This way their colors will blend nicely.

Usually pike flies have a long, full tail.
This one only incorporates flash as the tail
leaving a full body as the main target for a
hungry pike.
