Originally a sea trout pattern from Danish tyer Henning Eskol; simple enough to adjust the size up or down for a different audience.

thread - Danville 6/0 orange
tail - mallard flank
flash - Mirage tinsel opal
abdomen - brassie wire copper
thorax - Starburst dubbing copper (from the Dungeon; similar to Angel Hair)
hackle - ginger


Part 1

mash barb, start thread; wrap to bend




measure (shank length) some mallard fibers; tie in






tie in flash on either side of tail; trim short of the tail tips






tie in wire at 2/3 mark; wrap to bend






spiral rib back to 2/3 mark, helicopter end, cover with thread

For some reason, I can't open the images sent by Scott.
I could in the past.
Anyone help, please.

It looks like there's a problem with my Photobucket account, again. We'll see if their tech support can fix it.
