After goofing around with the Skitterbug, I thought I'd try to apply that concept to Art Sheck's neat Spundun mayfly

Couldn't get it to work properly, though, so I figured I'd tie up a Spundun anyway. The clipped deer hair provides a nice, built-in pfd.


hook - Dai Riki 320 #14
thread - UTC 140 tan
tail - hackle fibers ginger
body - goose biot tan
wing - deer hair




Part 1



mash barb, attach thread at 70% mark, wrap back to point above barb and create a thread bump











pull off a clump of hackle fibers and even tips







measure (shank length) and tie in









wrap back to thread bump to force tail to proper tilt and splay angle









tie in biot (notch side down to create ribbed body)









trim hackle butts at initial tie-in spot and wrap thread forward to create smooth underbody









wrap biot forward and tie off at 70% mark









clean & stack a clump of deer hair









measure for length (hook shank), trim butts and lay on top of hook at 70% mark
