TYING INSTRUCTION

Slide the bead on and start your thread somewhere in the middle of the hook.

Select about 12 strands of partridge hackle fibers. You actually can use whatever you want but I like the barring effect that this gives off.

Tie in your tinsel until you get to the bend.

Go ahead and dub some hares ear mask or some dubbing that is already pre made with the right dubbing. Advance up to the middle of the hook shank.

Wrap up the tinsel going the other direction that how you tied in the dubbing.

Tie in the flashabou or diamond braid.

Tie in some more hares ear dubbing. And you want to make sure that the thorax is a little bigger than the abdomen.

Fold the flash over and cut the excess off.

whip finish the fly.
