Head/Overwing3 Bleached Coastal Deer Hair (Home Dyed Yellow) or Standard Deer Hair
How to tie it
Start the Yellow Semperfli Nano Silk behind the eye, lay a thread base back to the bend, then return forward to the two-thirds point.
Cut a length of #4 GloBrite Floss, double it, and tie it in at the center of its length at the two-thirds point. Fold the front ends back and wrap over all four strands to the bend, ending on the last straight portion of the hook.
Lay the Medium Opal Mirage Tinsel on edge along the near side of the hook with its tag reaching up to where the tail started, catch it at the bend, and lay a smooth thread base forward over it. Wrap the tinsel forward, overlapping half a turn each turn so there are no gaps, tie off at the front and trim. Wrap over the stub up to the eye and back to the front edge of the body, overlapping onto it slightly.
Trim the floss tail to a short stub at the bend; the orange stub is the butt hot spot of a yellow sally.
Fold a thin strand of Yellow PolyPro Macrame Yarn tightly in half and roll the fold in your fingertips to crease it into a teardrop. Lay it flat on top so the tip reaches just beyond the orange butt, catch it with a few turns, and build a thread band so the wing lies flat. Snip the butts and wrap over them back to the front edge of the body.
Form a dubbing loop at the front of the body and hang it out of the way. On the bench, lay a small pinch of Yellow Nature's Spirit Emergence Dubbing, add a clump of fibers snipped from the stems of the 2 Yellow CDC Feathers, and top with a cleaned but unstacked clump of Bleached Coastal Deer Hair.
Slide reverse dubbing tweezers under the stack so the hair on one side reaches about to the hook bend, trim the other side leaving short stubs beyond the tweezers, set the bundle between the loop strands, release the tweezers, and spin the loop into a ragged deer hair, CDC and dubbing chenille.
Wrap the loop forward from the base of the wing to the eye, folding the fibers back on each turn as you would a soft hackle collar. Tie off behind the eye with firm wraps, fold the loop back and take a couple more, then trim the loop out.
Wet your fingers, sweep everything back, build a clean thread head that clears the eye, whip finish and trim the thread.
Pull the fibers down and trim the underside flat, working from a couple of angles to clear the bottom of the hook, then trim from the top.
