Thanks for the kind words everyone. The pattern for the fly as follows:

1) Hook: Mustad 3906 size 10

2) Thread: Daville 6/0 Black

3) Tail: Hare's Ear from mask with just a little underfur

4) Body: Rabbit dubbing dyed Adams Gray

5) Wing: Two grizzly hen cape tips

6) Collar: One grizzly hen cape feather wound three times followed by one brown hen cape feather wound three times. I basically wing the two hen cape feather together at the same time.

7) Head: Here's the trick, the whip finish must be allowed to form and shape the head. If this part is done so-so to OK to poor then thats how the head will come out. Once I have the head shaped and extremely smoothe (Simple part actually) then I use i good coat of Griff's thin followed by two coats of Griff's thick. The thing is to allow each coat to dry fully before going onto the next coat. What I do is put the fly in a wine cork and finish the fly off while tying other flies in my vise.


Hope this helps on this pattern.
