mash barb, start thread, wrap back to bend

dub a small butt

tie in hackle

melt/twist the end of a hank of CH

measure for length (shank); tie in

Part 2

trim hackle flat on top, pull shellback forward; half hitch x 2, SHHAN

trim head, trim out hackle underneath

That’s about the ugliest fly I ever saw! Probably will catch the heck out of fish. Thanks Scott.
