Carnage PMX SBS

[ScottP]

Never a big fan of the original which was pretty much a collection of materials that tended to soak up water tied on a substantial piece of iron.

hook - WFC Model 28 #10
thread - UTC 140 olive
core - 8lb mono
tail/underbody - elk hair
abdomen - 1mm foam olive
thorax - peacock herl
legs - medium rubber black
wing - Congo Hair white
hackle - grizzly dyed olive


Part 1

Put a loop on one end of the mono




Brush hook shank with Super Glue; tie in mono




Clean, stack, measure (about 2 1/2 times hook length) a clump of elk hair; trim butts/tie in, hook loop end onto gallows (I have no idea what it?s focusing on in the second photo)






Wrap elk up core and back down






Tie in foam strip (want this fly full-figured so I cut it about 1/2 hook gap width)




Brush underbody with Super Glue, wrap foam up to base of tail, increasing tension to create slight taper




Brush on a little more Super Glue and wrap back down to tie-in point; tie off/trim, trim out mono

Part 2

Tie in a hank of CH; cross-wrap then post up






Tie in hackle (shiny side out) on post; tie in legs




Tie in some peacock herl




Twist around thread, wrap thorax, finishing at base of wing; tie off/trim butts




Wrap hackle down post, cup-side up, finish and let it hang down; tie down hackle at base of post




Half hitch x 2 at base, SHHAN




Trim legs, trim wing
