| Comments: |
Run thread down to bend,
catch in gold thread, add dubbing wax to thread, and dub on plucked
wild rabbit fur, trying to get a few black guard hairs in and making a
carrot shape.
Bring the gold rib up, about 3 turns on a size 14.
Take some dark hen pheasant tail, not centre feather, roll and tie in
along the back of the hook, whip finish, and add a black nail varnish
head.
Pick out fur with a needle or Velcro.
A simple fly to tie which imitates hoglice, shrimps, sedges, or corixae.
Fishes dry or wet, deep or near the surface in the film. Fish it
fast, slow or still.
