Another Wulff variation (or a dry Tellico?); possibly originated in Colorado. Kinda played around with the sequence to tie the body - instructions I saw just had peacock wrapped, then ribbed with floss; I wanted a more RW look so I wrapped/overlapped herl/Uni-stretch. Can’t imagine it makes a bit of difference; tie it however you like.

hook - Mustad 94840 #12
thread - Uni 8/0 camel
tail - calftail
body - peacock herl/Uni-stretch yellow
wing - calftail
hackle - brown

Part 1

Mash down barb, start thread at 75% mark

clean, stack, clean, stack, clean, stack, measure (hook length) a clump of calftail; tie in (lean on it - I popped the thread twice but the wing’s not going anywhere), trim at an angle, cover with thread and a bit of Sally

clean, stack, measure (shank length) a smaller clump of calftail; tie in, wrap forward to junction with wing butts, trim and smooth with thread (and a little more Sally)

pull wing up, set angle with thread dam

Part 2

divide and conquer

post and set with locking wrap

repeat

set dihedral, brush base with Sally

tie in rib

tie in peacock

twist peacock around tying thread

Part 3

take a wrap of peacock, then Uni-stretch; repeat up the body to 60% mark; tie it all off and trim

tie in hackle

wrap, tie off, trim, half hitch x 2, SHHAN one more time

blue shift

red shift
