Not crazy about the shade of olive on the tail and collar but this was more to establish the tying sequence; I?ll try something else next go-round.

hook - WFC Model 3 #12
thread - Danville 6/0 olive
tail - pheasant rump dyed olive
rib - Uni Stretch yellow
body - hare?s ear dyed olive
underwing - CdC dark dun
overwing/head - deer hair dyed dun
collar - sharptail grouse dyed olive


Part 1

Start thread at head




Clean, stack, measure (hook length) a clump of deer hair; trim to length, tie in on top of hook shank (don?t let it spin)








Wrap thread to bend; strip some fibers off a pheasant rump feather, measure (shank length), tie in






Tie in rib




Dub thread/dub body up to deer hair butts




Counterwrap rib; tie off/trim

Part 2

Measure (tips just past bend) a pair of CdC feathers; tie in/trim






Fold deer hair back over body, keeping fibers on top of hook




Tie down with a couple firm wraps to create head




Tie in (insert favorite upland game bird feather) by tip




Wrap collar sweeping fibers back; tie off/trim




Add a very little bit of dubbing




Wrap in front of collar, whip finish, SHHAN
