Again, notional tying sequence, but looking at pics on the interweb it’s not too hard to figure out; change colors to suit your needs.

hook - Dai Riki 300 #14
thread - MFC 6/0 purple
shuck - Congo Hair brown
rib - x-small wire silver
abdomen - holo tinsel purple
thorax - Ice Dub black peacock
head - dubbing Hare’s Ear
underwing - deer hair
legs - medium rubber brown
wing - Congo Hair white
overwing - 1mm foam white

Part 1

mash barb, start thread at 1/2 mark

tie in CH and rib; wrap to bend and back

tie in tinsel, wrap to shuck and back; tie off/trim

counterwrap rib, helicopter end, cover with thread; trim shuck (shank length)

tie in foam strip over eye

repeat with CH

dub thread/dub thorax

2

Part 2

clean a clump of deer hair; trim butts, measure (halfway down the abdomen), tie in

dub head

pull wing to the rear, over the head and tie down

repeat with the foam

tie in legs (feel free to dub these wraps, as seen on tv; seems like a waste of time to me)

whip finish, SHHAN, trim legs, wing and overwing

Scott
