Playing around with the sharpie feathers on another fly gave me an idea for a Jingler Elk Hair variant. Change color/size to suit your needs; partridge or a host of other feathers could be used, as well.




hook - Dai Riki 300 #10
thread - UTC 140 tan
rib - x-small wire copper
body - Ice Dub hare's ear
body hackle - grizzly (undersize by 1)
wing - deer hair
shoulder hackle - sharptail grouse
front hackle - grizzly
head - 1mm foam tan




Part 1

mash barb, start thread at head







tie in a strip of foam (about 1/2 gap width) at eye; fold back, tie down/trim













tie in rib, wrap to bend







dub thread/dub body










tie in hackle; wrap to bend

Part 2

rib thru hackle; helicopter end, cover with thread, trim hackle tip







clean, stack, measure (tips to bend) a clump of deer hair; trimbutts/tie in










tie in grouse by tip; wrap, tie off/trim










tie in hackle







wrap, tie off/trim, half hitch x 2, SHHAN
