Hook: TMC 100 #14-22
Thread: 8/0 Brown
Shuck: Zelon
Abdomen: Superfine Dubbing
Wing: Natural Deer Hock

Start the thread two eye lengths behind the eye and wrap back to the bend. Return the thread to the starting point.

Tie in a hank of zelon and wrap back over it to the bend.

Dub a tapered abdomen up to the starting point. Clip the zelon shuck to about a shank length long.

Cut, clean and stack a clump of deer hair. Measure the hair against the hook so it is equal to one shank length.

Cut the hair to one shank length long and place the butt ends just behind the hook eye.

Make two turns over the hair and pull toward you to tighten these wraps and flare the hair.

Work the thread forward through the butt ends of the hair to the eye and whip finish. Clip the thread.
