Start thread halfway the hook
Tie in tail
return to halfway point, tie in Elk. Length of Elk hair is equal to the distance from hook eye to tips of tail. Make sure the hair stays on top of the hook. Start with tight wraps, decrease tension towards tail
Fold over Elk hair and tie down. Space behing wing should be a little less than in front of wing.
Separate wings, make thread wraps around each wing.
Post wings; the difference in diameter behind and in front of wings will cause trouble when hackling, so build a thread slope in front of wing.
Tie in hackles
Hackle, SHHAN - done!
