Part 1

mash barb, start thread at 2/3 mark; wrap to point above barb




measure (gap width past bend) some woodduck fibers; tie in/trim






tie in some CH on top of tail; trim




tie in rib




dub thread/dub tapered abdomen to 2/3 mark






counterwrap rib; tie off/trim




tie in hackle (did it by the tip just to see how it'd look; I was pretty happy with the swept-back effect so I'll probably keep it this way for the next batch)
