    Default lead eyed marabou damsel

    DSCN0247.jpg

    Hook: three times long no.10
    eyes: x-small black lead eyes tied on top of hook
    rib: fine gold oval tinsel
    tail, abdomen, thorax: single blood marabou feather tied in at rear for tail and twisted and wound forward with figure eight around eyes. If the shaft is too thick to wind at end finish with chopped dubbed fibers.
    wing case: a few pheasant tail fibers tied under hook shank Can be omitted as it doesn't last and fish don't care

    I can think of few acts more selfish than refusing a vaccination.
