How to tie it
Tie a healthy portion of bucktail on around the hook point to support the rear and add width to the belly.
Fold a small bunch of MFC Scales n' Tails in half, cut it short, and tie it in with a V tie just in front of the bucktail; fold it back as a platform.
Tie in a healthy section of white MFC in the middle, further toward the hook eye, fold it back and V tie it, slightly offset left and right for width; most of the shank becomes the beak.
Apply liquid fusion or soft tex inside the scales and tails back behind the bend to give the fly a spine so it does not foul.
Tie in the turquoise MFC right in front of the white with a V tie, keeping the blue focused on top.
Whip finish, then colour the sides with an olive marker, blending with blue if wanted.
Super glue the stick-on eyes on, placed far back but still on the hook shank.
Apply a coat of medium UV resin over the beak and eyes and cure, then a thin coat of resin and cure, moving the fly so it does not overheat.
