Morrison's Bloody Knight SBS

[ScottP]

A neat alternative when you get tired of tying Lightning Bugs; tailwater fodder in smaller sizes. Original had Flashabou tail/wingcase; can't find my red so switched to KF.


hook - Dai Riki 135 #12
thread - Danville 6/0 black
rib - small wire silver
tail - Krystal Flash silver
body - tinsel silver
thorax - peacock herl
wingcase - Krystal Flash red
gills(?) - antron white
bead - 1/8" black nickel

Part 1

mash barb, slide bead on hook; jam in place with a few wraps of non-tox




start thread; tie in rib and KF, wrap halfway down the bend




tie in tinsel, wrap to tail and back; tie off/trim






rib body, helicopter end, cover with thread




tie in wingcase




tie in peacock




tie in antron at bead
