Goose biot Natural/light (Canada goose) (1 biot for abdomen)
Zap-a-gap - (tiny amount)
Superfine dubbing Adams gray (small pinch for thorax)
CDC feather White cdc (1 feather for wing)
Rooster hackle Grizzly hackle (1 feather)
How to tie it
Place the down-eye size 20 hook in the vise, start nano silk at the eye, and wrap back to the bend.
Tie in a goose biot at the bend by its tip, leaving the fine tip extending to where the body will end so the notch forms a dark rib edge.
Smear a tiny bit of Zap-a-gap along the shank, then wrap the biot forward in 4-5 overlapping turns to just short of the eye, creating a segmented body with a dark rib on the trailing edge; bring the thread behind the biot, catch it with a couple of turns, and trim the butt.
Dub a small pinch of Adams gray superfine onto the thread and build a small dubbing ball/thorax, leaving about one and a half eye-lengths of bare shank behind the eye.
Tie in a white CDC feather at the front with the tips pointing forward over the eye, then pull it back to about a shank length long and wrap back to the front edge of the dubbing ball, leaving the wing hanging forward.
Tie in a grizzly hackle just in front of the dubbing ball and make two or three turns; tie off and trim the feather.
Lift the CDC wing and take a few thread turns in front of it to stand it up off the hook eye.
Whip finish, trim the thread, and trim the CDC butts into a short tuft just beyond the wing.
