Kings Hairwing Dun Skater

Found it [b]here[/b]. Notional tying sequence but a Hairwing Dun is a Hairwing Dun; even with the lip, only so many ways to skin the cat.

hook - Maruto 7989 #10
thread - UTC 140 burnt orange
tail - Congo Hair brown
body - dubbing rusty orange
hackle - grizzly dyed burnt orange
wing - deer hair
lip - 2mm foam brown

Part 1

Cut a piece of foam (gap width) into a wedge shape

Mash barb, start thread on return wire

Brush on a little Super Glue and tie in foam about 2 eye widths back, facing out over the eye; trim butt

Tie in some CH, fold and wrap to point above point; trim

Dub thread/ dub body to base of lip

Tie in hackle

Part 2

Take a few turns back, then wrap back thru; tie off/trim

Clean, stack, measure (tips to bend) a clump of deer hair; trim to length, tie on at base of lip with 2 soft loops (with flat thread like UTC, it helps to spin the bobbin clockwise and tighten up the thread for a better grip), pinch hard on top and pull tight

Whip finish, SHHAN

Scott
