Tying instructions
Secure hook in vise.
Start thread behind the eye, wrapping back to the bend.
Tie in a small amount of UV Orange EP Trigger Point at the bend for the tag.
Wrap the UV Orange EP Trigger Point forward to create a small tag.
Tie in the Fl. Orange UTC Waxed Thread for ribbing at the bend.
Dub a thin noodle of Pale Yellow Super Fine Dubbing onto the thread.
Wrap the dubbed body forward to just behind the eye, creating a slight taper.
Counter-wrap the Fl. Orange UTC Waxed Thread forward to create the ribbing.
Tie off the Fl. Orange UTC Waxed Thread and trim the excess.
Select a small bunch of Dun CDC fibers and trim the tips to create a V shape.
Tie in the Dun CDC fibers on top of the hook shank, just behind the eye, creating a wing.
Select a small amount of White EP Trigger Point.
Tie in the White EP Trigger Point on top of the Dun CDC wing to add visibility.
Create a dubbing loop with the tying thread.
Insert CDC fibers into the dubbing loop.
Spin the dubbing loop to create a CDC hackle.
