Another Wulff variation (or a dry Tellico?); possibly originated in Colorado. Kinda played around with the sequence to tie the body - instructions I saw just had peacock wrapped, then ribbed with floss; I wanted a more RW look so I wrapped/overlapped herl/Uni-stretch. Can't imagine it makes a bit of difference; tie it however you like.


hook - Mustad 94840 #12
thread - Uni 8/0 camel
tail - calftail
body - peacock herl/Uni-stretch yellow
wing - calftail
hackle - brown


Part 1

Mash down barb, start thread at 75% mark




clean, stack, clean, stack, clean, stack, measure (hook length) a clump of calftail; tie in (lean on it - I popped the thread twice but the wing's not going anywhere), trim at an angle, cover with thread and a bit of Sally










clean, stack, measure (shank length) a smaller clump of calftail; tie in, wrap forward to junction with wing butts, trim and smooth with thread (and a little more Sally)








pull wing up, set angle with thread dam
