Gavin Posted July 1, 2010 Posted July 1, 2010 From the pic.... Scud Hook Marabou Tail Two or three materials for the body...just a guess but I'm thinking 2 strands of v-rib or similar material wrapped together. Thorax is dubbing of some sort with swiss straw for the wing pads...Cant see the wing case material very well, but anything will work Add a turn of marabou or ostrich herl at the head. Buy a couple and cut them up if you really want to be sure. Cheers.
Kayser Posted July 1, 2010 Posted July 1, 2010 Keep in mind, this is all just a guess- Scud Hook, marabou/ostrich herl tail, thread base with v-rib over it for body, dubbed abdomen, swiss straw or goose biots for wing pads, midge diamond braid for a wing case (back), couple turns of the marabou/ostrich herl (same as tail) for the collar. I'm thinking I need to go get some v-rib and diamond braid now... Rob WARNING!! Comments to be interpreted at own risk. Time spent fishing is never wasted.
