Materials
Scud or synthetic dubbing Tan dubbing (Enough for a two-thirds body)
Coyote mask fur (rabbit or red fox substitute) Natural tan/brown coyote mask fur (A small tuft for the wing)

How to tie it
Start tan thread and wrap back to the start of the bend.
Wax the thread lightly and dub a slim tan body forward, covering about two thirds of the shank.
Pull the underfur out of a small tuft of coyote mask fur and stack it as best you can (it will not stack cleanly), then tie it in as a wing extending a little past the bend, cheating the tie-in toward your side so the first wrap rolls it partly around the shank. You want a little wing showing on both sides, not just on top.
Add a couple more tight wraps forward to lock the wing in, and smooth the tie-in area out with a few thread wraps to make a flat base for the hackle.
Lay two strands of fine natural Crystal Flash over the top about as long as the wing, take a wrap, then fold them back over themselves so you finish with four strands going back. Secure well and trim to length.
Tie in a cream or light hackle one size undersized. It is the only thing floating this fly, so you will be putting on a lot of it.
If the wing has rolled too far around the shank, trim it back a little before wrapping.
Take five to seven turns of hackle, tie it off and snip the excess and any stray barbs pointing forward.
Pull everything back, whip finish a small head and add a drop of head cement if you like.
