Phishingincident demonstrated a few more flies for the club to get ready for the Dowagiac float trip. We had one salmon straighten a hook out so you might want to use a heavier wire hook.
I didn't get a picture of the black biots used for the tail and front legs. We used turkey biots. Pictured below is a small piece of black turkey wing for the wing casing.
Bead goes on first. Clamp in vice and tie in biots.
Tie in black ribbing and place in material holder.
Dub up towards the bead but leave a 1/8 inch space.
Counter wrap the ribbing to the front.
Turkey wing tied in on top of flash.
Two biots are tied in for the rear legs.
A small amount of dubbing up to the bead then two more biots for the front legs.
Flash and turkey wing have been pulled forward and tied in.
Whip finish and your done.
