How to tie it
Slide the copper-nickel tungsten bead onto the hook, small hole first, and seat it against the eye. Start the thread behind the bead and lay a base to the bend.
Tie in a short, sparse tail of brown fibers about half a shank length, splayed slightly.
Tie in the copper wire at the tail, leaving it hanging.
Dub a slim, slightly tapered abdomen of pale yellow forward over the back two-thirds of the shank.
Counter-wrap the copper wire forward in 4-5 evenly spaced turns to segment the body, then tie off and helicopter to break the wire.
Dub a small, darker brown thorax behind the bead, keeping it buggy but compact.
Whip finish behind the bead and add a tiny drop of cement.
