Rooster hackle Brown and grizzly rooster hackle (1 feather each (collar))
How to tie it
Start the thread at the 66% point of the shank (two-thirds toward the eye) and secure it.
Tie in a length of Z-lon and wrap back to the bend for the trailing shuck; trim the shuck to about one shank-length long.
Wrap the thread up and down the shank to build a slightly tapered underbody.
Tie in the dun Bug Legs body material at the two-thirds point, wrap thread back over it under tension, then bring the thread back to the two-thirds point.
Wrap the Bug Legs forward under tension in touching turns to the two-thirds point; tie down and trim the excess.
Tie in a length of white Congo hair with tight wraps, lift it upright, and build a thread dam in front so it stands up, leaving space for the hackle wraps; trim the butt ends, leaving a small tuft.
Tie in one brown and one grizzly hackle together at the wing.
Wrap both hackles at the same time: one full turn behind the wing and one full turn in front; secure with thread.
Trim off the hackle tips, secure with a couple of half-hitch knots, and cut the thread.
Stand the wing up and trim it so it sits just slightly above the hackle.
