Woodright's Carnage Salmonfly

The ones I saw ain't orange; the furniture marker gets the color close enough.










hook - Dai Riki 135 #6
thread - UTC 140 fluoro orange
core - 20lb mono
tail - moose body hair
abdomen - 2mm foam orange (colored with furniture marker pen)
wing - elk hair
thorax/head - 1mm foam orange (colored with furniture marker pen)
legs - medium rubber brown
indicator - 1mm foam orange




Part 1

put a loop in the mono







mash barb/start thread; brush shank with Super Glue and tie in mono







clean, stack, measure (2.5x shank length) some moose body; trim butts/tie in, hook loop onto gallows










wrap tail up the mono







and back down







tie in foam strip (about 1/3 gap width; can't go too wide with 2mm stock or it won't lay properly on the core)

Part 2

brush underbody with Super Glue; wrap up with touching turns







and back down with overlapping turns; tie off/trim







clean, stack, measure (halfway between end of body and tips of tail) a clump of elk; trim butts/tie in










tie in 1mm foam strip (gap width) on underside with dyed side facing up







repeat on top with dyed side facing down; butts should reach base of wing







cover butts with thread







pull foam on underside to the rear; tie down/trim

Part 3
