Another Scandinavian seatrout fly; Eivind’s
looks like a takeoff on the Dyret (Animal)
.
I don’t get where brushing/stroking the hackle will keep it in place so I switched to a hackestacker.
hook - Mustad 94840 #6
thread - UTC 140 grey brown
tail - fox squirrel tail
rib - x-small wire silver
body - large tinsel opal
loop - a piece of the tying thread, doubled
hackle - grizzly
Part 1
cut a section of the thread off and put it to the side for the loop; mash barb, attach thread, wrap to bend
clean, stack, measure (shank length + gap) a clump of squirrel tail; tie in/trim
tie in doubled thread and rib
tie in hackle
hook the thread loop onto the gallows, wrap the hackle up the loop (shank length), and back down; tie off/trim
