Tying Steps:
1. Start the thread at the bend of the hook, make a few wraps as
a base for the tinsel.
2. Tie in tinsel and wrap thread to eye of the hook.
3. Wrap tinsel forward, evenly, slightly overlapping, tie off tinsel.
4. Select one each red and yellow saddle hackle, tie one on each side, curve to the outside.
5. Make several turns with the yellow first, tie off, then about the same number of turns with the red. The red should be toward the eye.
6. Tie in orange kip tail as wing over the hackle. Form nice head, whip finish. Lacquer or paint over head.
