NZ Hatchmaster SBS

[ScottP]

Not THAT Hatchmaster. Kiwi version (must have something to do with the reversed Coriolis effect); more like a crippled Humpy - a Crumpy.


hook - Dai Riki 320 #14
thread - UTC 70 tan
tail/hump - deer hair
abdomen - dubbing tan
wing - deer hair
hackle - ginger grizzly


Part 1

Mash down barb, attach thread




a bit of dubbing (gives the tail/hump something to bite into)




clean, stack, measure (gap width past bend) a clump of deer hair




tie down, then a few wraps through the butts to anchor

a bit more dubbing




pull the deer hair forward, tie down (again a few wraps through the butts to prevent torque), trim, smooth with thread
