Shuck on the original was hand-tied; mono core makes it a lot easier for me.

hook - Dai Riki 125 #18
thread - MFC 8/0 sand
core - 5x mono
shuck - CdC dun
body - peacock herl
hackle - grizzly
wing - CdC dun

Part 1

make a loop in mono

start thread; tie mono in

strip off some CdC fibers; tie in

hook loop onto gallows

wrap CdC around mono with thread wraps up (hook length), and back to base

trim away mono; trim CdC butts

Part 2

measure (hook length) and tie in wing over hook eye

return to tail; tie in hackle

tie in peacock; wrap, tie off/trim

wrap hackle thru body; tie off/trim

stand wing up with thread dam in front; half hitch x 2, SHHAN

trim out hackle underneath
