Wright's Royal variation SBS

[ScottP]

Part 2


take a clump of bleached elk, clean and stack





measure elk (half the tail distance) and tie in





trim elk butts at an angle





create smooth, tapered thorax (helps a lot when hackling)





tie in hackle; with a fairly thick wing tie-in, undersize by 1 (on this #12 hook use a #14 hackle)





tie in some peacock herl





twist herl around tying thread and wrap forward





wrap hackle through peacock, tie off, SHHAN and you're done








Original version with yearling elk wing (wish I had found it for the first fly)
