Tying instructions
Secure the hook in the vise.
Start the thread three eye lengths behind the hook eye.
Create a thread base back to just between the point and the barb.
Apply super glue to the thread base.
Cut a strip of 3mm orange fly foam to 6mm wide.
Thread the foam onto a needle.
Push the foam up to the thread base.
Bump the thread forward just a bit.
Fold the two ends of the foam forward.
Make three or four turns to create the first segment.
Open the two pieces and move the thread forward just a turn or two.
Line that foam up again.
Repeat steps 6-11 to create a total of seven segments, ascending in size.
Whip finish the orange nanosilk thread.
Attach fluorescent fire orange 70 denier UTC thread.
Tie in orange krystal flash at the center of its length.
Fold the krystal flash back and secure it with thread.
Cut the krystal flash to random lengths.
Cut a piece of 3M Transpore Surgical Tape to the length of the body.
Color the tape with a sepia colored marker.
Tie in the tape as a wing, just beyond the end of the body.
Tie in brown moose body hair as an overwing.
Spin and flare Varner Big Bug Hair for the head.
Trim the hair to shape a bullet head.
Tie in rubber legs on each side of the fly.
