How to tie it
Start the thread behind the eye, wind down the shank to lock it, trim, then wind back up to just behind the eye.
Tie in a strip of black Flexibody along the side of the hook and lift it on top of the shank. Whip finish and take the thread off.
Cut sticky-back lead sheet about 1 mm wide. Wind it from the middle of the shank toward the eye in touching turns, then back over the last turn with two or three more.
Restart the thread on the bare shank behind the weight and wind down to the bend.
Pull a few dark green partridge fibres away from the stem and even the tips. Tie them in as a tail about half the length of the fly.
Tie in a length of floss for the rib, then wind the thread back to the thorax to lock it and trim the stub.
Dub a little dark olive possum at a time onto the thread. Wind it up the hook to form a tapered abdomen, about two thirds of the body.
Twist the floss tight and wind it up the abdomen in open, even turns. Tie off at the thorax and trim.
Dub the thorax a little more generously.
Pull the Flexibody over the thorax and down, hold it, take one wrap, whip finish and remove the thread. Add a little varnish on the wraps, then cut off the surplus Flexibody, leaving a short stub.
Leave the varnish to dry. Pick out the thorax with a velcro brush, sweeping the fibres back toward the bend, and remove any stray long ones.
