Or is it a Rat-faced McDougal? Whatever, it's a pain, especially trying to execute a reverse pinch-wrap on a clump of pre-trimmed calftail in a very tiny space and I was working with a pretty big piece of iron. Having to tie a bunch of these on #16's would be a level of Hell even Dante never imagined. After we get back from our hike, I'm gonna try it tying tail and wing in first before spinning the body.


hook - Dai Riki 320 #12
thread - UTC 140 tan
tail - moose body hair
body - caribou
wing - calftail white
hackle - brown/grizzly




Part 1

mash barb, attach thread at 60% mark and wrap back to point above barb





clean and stack a clump of moose body hair





measure for length (hook shank) and tie in





trim butts and cover with thread





clean a clump of caribou (no need to stack since you're throwing away the tip section) and trim fairly short so it clears the hook point when it spins around the shank





pack it back and repeat with a second clump





cover tail with tape to protect it during body trimming





trim body; this took a while to get the proper shape and looking back, it's a bit fat





clean and stack a clump of calftail; trim to length (hook shank + a bit for tie-in)
