Michigan tyer's take on Joe Brooks Blonde; he preferred to tie it unweighted.


hook - Dai Riki 700 #4
thread - Danville flat wax rusty brown
tail - bucktail yellow/Flashabou copper
body/head - Krystal Flash copper (appears that the original used something like Diamond Braid; DIY version here)
wing - bucktail yellow/Flashabou copper

Part 1

mash barb, start thread




even tips on a clump of bucktail, measure (hook length)/ tie in/trim






tie in some Flashabou




tie in some KF; twist to form rope, wind forward; tie down (don't trim)








even tips on another clump of bucktail, measure (tips to tail)/ tie in/trim
