Tie in 4-5 Coq de Leon fibers at the bend, about three-quarters of a shank length.
Tie in pheasant tail fibers by their tips and wrap forward in touching turns to just behind the bead. Keep the body slim; you can counter-wrap fine wire over it if you want it to survive more fish.
Dub a small, bright thorax of pink or orange Ice Dub behind the bead. 2-3 wraps, a distinct dot of color, not a collar.
Whip finish behind the bead.
