Mount the salmon hook and take black thread back to just past the hook point.
Tie in the small gold oval tinsel on the underside and wind a very short tip, three or four turns is plenty, then tie off and trim.
Advance the thread forward about one tag-length. Tie in the hot green floss and wind it back to the tip and forward again in touching turns so it finishes two layers thick; a single layer lets the black thread bleed through and dull the colour. Tie off and trim.
Tie in a second length of small gold oval tinsel as the rib at the front of the tag.
Tie in the wine floss a little ahead of the tie-in bump so the first pass does not sit on the lump. Wind it forward, back, and forward again, three passes, filling the gap behind so the body comes out even; finish at the 85% point, double the floss over to trap it, add a few extra wraps and half hitch.
Take one turn of the rib at the rear of the body then spiral it forward in even turns; tie it off under the shank and trim.
Turn the fly or work underneath: tie in a bunch of blue fibres about 1 cm wide as a beard, straight and reaching back to the tag. Trim the butts and clean up.
Stack a sparse bunch of fox squirrel tail (stacking lines up the barring) and measure it a touch long, then trim to length. Set it on top with a soft loop and bind down tight. Keep it sparse, as too big a bunch of slippery hair will pull out.
Build a neat black head, whip finish and add head cement.
