How to tie it
Start UTC black 140 denier just behind the eye, leaving a gap, and take touching wraps rearward, trimming the tag end off about halfway back.
Pull five to eight guinea fowl fibers and check their natural curve so it arcs upward; lay them on top of the shank, pinch wrap while holding them at an upward angle, and bind them well down into the bend, then trim the butt ends.
Tie in the copper brassie UTC wire and twist it out to the side to make the first ribbing wrap easier.
Bind in the 1/8" tan scud back — spin the bobbin so the thread cords up and grips your fingers if the material is hard to hold — pull it rearward under a little tension, secure it, and take the thread back to the midpoint.
Form a four-inch dubbing loop at the midpoint. Blend a slightly larger clump of dark olive Arizona Simi Seal with a smidge of golden brown Ice Dub by stacking, twisting into a noodle and stacking again, leaving the last stack flat; load it into the loop, spread it out and spin it up firmly.
Take one or two wraps on top of each other, work rearward avoiding the hook point, then wrap forward back over those first turns to build a hump over the rear of the body; stop well short of the eye so the wire and scud back have room.
Tie the dubbing loop off with a couple of wraps behind and a couple in front, trim it out and put in a half hitch.
Pull the tan scud back forward over the top, take one wrap over it and a couple on top of that, then fold the tag end back over itself and wrap it down; half hitch to secure.
Spiral the wire forward in semi-even turns, working the wire through the dubbing fibers rather than trapping them and twisting the scud back back on top as you go; take a full wrap at the head, cover the wire with thread and do a three-turn whip finish.
Push a dubbing pick through the hook gap and brush the trapped fibers out hard, working each side, then pull them all forward and trim so they run shorter at the front and longer toward the back.
Apply Loon flow to the whip finish to lock it, then Loon thin over the scud back and hump so it seeps down into the fibers and into the tail transition, and cure.
