It always killed me to clip the flank feather for the wingpad, so I let it go long here.

hook - Mustad 9671 #6
thread - Danville 6/0 brown(s)
underbody - non-tox .030
tail - peacock sword
rib - oval tinsel silver
body - peacock herl
wing - woodduck flank
hackle - hen brown

Part 1

Part 2

prep woodduck flank (drag scissor blade over top half to get them to lay properly); tie in by tip

wrap, tie off/trim

prep hen hackle; realize the thread's the wrong color (was going to use a darker India hen but didn't like the effect), switch thread and tie in hackle by tip (do the scissor blade thing to the top half, again)
