Never have been good at tying Medallion Sheeting (or Swiss Straw) wings as on the original, so I subbed Congo Hair (got that tip off John Newberry's site). Tied as a flav; change colors to suit your needs


hook - Dai Riki 280 #16
thread - Danville 6/0 pale olive
shuck - Congo Hair brown
rib - Sexi floss (split strand in half)
body - Uni-stretch light olive
underwing - CDC dun
wing - Congo Hair black
legs - partridge dyed light olive
head - dubbing light olive

Part 1

mash barb, start thread; tie in CH, fold, tie in rib and wrap everything back to the bend
