Putting maodiver's gift into action. Original had a dubbed head, aftershaft gives a different look; your choice.

hook - TMC 200R #10 (I know; but they look so nice)
thread - Danville 6/0 brown
tail/body - woodduck flank
underbody - Ice Dub hare's ear
hackle - partridge
head - pheasant aftershaft dyed brown

Part 1

mash barb, start thread; leave tag end long and wrap to point above point




dub thread/dub body to 3/4 mark






prep a woodduck feather (fibers about 1.5 times hook length); tie in by tip






stroke fibers back and wrap; tie off/trim




gather fibers at the rear, take a single wrap with the tag end of thread, push the fibers towards a bit; take a few more wraps to secure, whip, trim thread, SHHAN






create thread loop
