A little bit easier to tie than the Carnage Paradrake (although harder to create a tapered body), especially in smaller sizes; body's durable and it floats as well. Adjust colors to suit your needs.

Part 1


For a smaller sized fly like this one, I used the thinnest pin I could find to create the body







start thread on pin







clean and stack a few moose body hairs







tie the moose hairs on the pin







poke a hole in foam strip







slide foam onto the pin up to tie in point







fold foam on either side of pin and adjust thread to start body







a couple soft wraps to create 1st segment
