Sureshot SBS
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

Part 2
divide and conquer
post and set with locking wrap
repeat
set dihedral, brush base with Sally
tie in rib
tie in peacock
twist peacock around tying thread
-
Part 3
take a wrap of peacock, then Uni-stretch; repeat up the body to 60% mark; tie it all off and trim
tie in hackle
wrap, tie off, trim, half hitch x 2, SHHAN one more time
blue shift
red shift

Scott
