Flat pearl tinsel Pearl mylar tinsel (1 strand, large (flashback))
Hare's ear dubbing Natural hare s ear dubbing (Small clump (body))
How to tie it
Seat the gold slotted bead on the jig hook, start the light olive thread, and fill the bead slot with thread wraps to steady it.
Lay a thread base back to just shy of mid-shank, then tie in.015 lead wire with criss-cross wraps and take about 4 turns, seating the wraps tight against the bead to anchor it.
Strip a generous bunch of speckled bronze mallard, even the tips, and tie in a tail the length of the fly's body, tying in at the end of the lead wraps and binding back to the start of the bend.
Butt the end of the brassie copper wire against the lead wraps and bind it down along the shank toward the tail, filling in the step behind the lead.
Tie in the large pearl tinsel on top the same way and bind it back to the tail tie-in for a smooth, tapered underbody; trim the tail butts.
Dub a tapered body of natural hare's ear from the tail up to the bead.
Spiral the copper wire forward in 4-5 evenly spaced turns, tie it off behind the bead, and helicopter the excess.
Pull the pearl tinsel forward over the top of the body as the flashback, tie it down behind the bead, and trim.
Switch to fluorescent fire orange thread and build a neat hot spot collar directly behind the bead.
Whip finish on the collar, trim, and add a drop of cement.
