Mount the dry hook and run black thread to the mid-shank wing point.
Select two white duck breast feathers, pair them back-to-back so they curve away from each other, and tie them in upright as fan wings, then post and divide them.
Run thread to the bend and tie in a bunch of golden pheasant tippet as a tail.

Wind the hackles in close turns to make a dense collar, tie off, whip finish and varnish.
