Part 1

mash barb, start thread at 2/3 mark; tie in rib and wrap to bend




tie in tubing




tie in tinsel at 2/3 mark; wrap to bend, leave tag end hanging






wrap tubing forward to 2/3 mark; tie off/trim




spiral tag end of tinsel forward; tie off/trim (original used the tinsel rib to add a little flash to the pattern, but using it under the midge tubing adds enough flash to make this extraneous - next time I'll leave this step out)




tie in hackle; wrap to the bend
