How to tie it
Put a small dab of UV resin inside a cone head and slide it onto the hook, so it cannot spin. Cure it.
Lay down a base of thread along the shank.
Take a bunch of white marabou and line up the tips. Tie it in so it hangs about an inch off the back.
Wrap the spare marabou butts up the shank to build the body. Stop short of the cone and trim off the excess.
Fold a pinch of blue pearl flash over, tie it in twice and place it along the sides of the tail. Cut it a little longer than the marabou.
Cut pearl mylar tubing to run from the tail to the head, with a little extra. Slide it over the hook eye, push the top open and pull the bottom through.
Take the tubing up and over the cone, touch it into the tail, then pinch it and bind it down at the back with a few wraps.
Pull the tubing back toward the tail, take it up over the whole fly, and secure it behind the cone with several wraps. Both ends must be locked down or fish will pull the fibres out.
Trim the tubing, half hitch and whip finish. Work thin UV resin around the thread wraps and cure it.
Take white thread back in behind the cone, make a loose wrap about an eighth of an inch, hold the tag and pull tight to make a dam. Trim the loose ends.
Tie in a large mallard flank feather in front of the thick stem. Wind it on chunky so it follows the shape of the fly. Do not trim the stem short until it is secured.
Dub red fur behind the cone to make the gills. Whip finish.
Pick out some of the red fibres into the head with a velcro strip. Leave the mylar ends locked down.
