A Belgian’s take on M.O.M. patterns. Found the copper tinsel; hiding in plain sight

hook - Dai Riki 075 #8
thread - Danville 6/0 tan/MFC 8/0 rusty brown (had a change of heart on head dubbing at the end)
tail - teal flank/partridge tail
rib - brassie wire copper
underbody - dubbing
body - copper mylar
throat - partridge
wing - partridge
hackle - partridge
head - dubbing rusty brown

Part 1

mash barb; start thread, tie in rib, wrap to bend

measure (shank length) some teal flank; tie in

top with some partridge tail fibers; trim

dub tapered underbody

tie in tinsel

2

Part 2

touching wraps to tail and back; tie off/trim

rib body; helicopter end, cover with thread

tie in partridge by tip; wrap, tie off/trim

stroke fibers down, cover with thread

measure (tips slightly past bend) a pair of partridge feathers; tie in/trim

tie in another partridge feather by the tip; wrap, tie off/trim

3

Part 3

dub thread

dub head, realize you have the wrong color thread, back off, switch thread, dub again, whip finish, SHHAN
