How to tie it
Start white thread halfway up the return eye and build a tapered underbody: go back about five turns beyond the return eye, forward to four turns shy of the start, back six or seven turns further, and forward again, keeping the thread flat with side-by-side wraps. Stop with the thread hanging between the point and the barb.
Burnish the underbody by rubbing the thread wraps flat and smooth all the way around, then wax the thread.
Tie in fine blue oval tinsel on the far side of the hook, take three wraps forward and then about six wraps of tinsel as the tip, this keeps the floss from slipping, tie off and trim.
Cut a length of JC orange single-strand silk floss and tie it in about a quarter inch up the shank, with free room in front of the hook point. Take one wrap, then wrap down to the blue tip and back up in side-by-side wraps, secure with one more wrap, and burnish the floss smooth.
Tie in a black ostrich herl with the concave side facing up and take about three wraps as a butt.
Tie flat silver tinsel in at roughly the six o'clock position (just on the far side of underneath) and wrap the thread all the way forward.
Tie in burnt orange single-strand silk floss and wrap it down and back in edge-to-edge wraps the same way as the tag, tie it off at the tie-in point, trim, and burnish out all the hills and valleys.
Rib the body with four evenly spaced turns of the flat silver tinsel and tie it off.
Take the biggest, webbiest bright orange feather off the back of a streamer neck, open it up, tie it in on the near side and hackle it, pulling everything back and leaving all of it on top. Do not draw any of it under the shank. It should look as if the current is already sweeping it back.
Build each half of the wing from dyed turkey tail: cut six slips each of orange, black and orange, keeping the back of the feather toward you, and marry them in order. For the left wing work left to right, running a finger up the fibers to sew them together, then pinch each end and twist back and forth to lock them. Build the right half to match and lay it back-to-back on the first.
'Hump' the married wing to shape it: hold the back end, let go, and roll the fibers between your fingers, regripping each time and letting the fibers slip so the wing takes and holds a low shape.
Set the wing so the tips reach the bend and it stands straight over the shank, pinch it hard, bring the thread up parallel and hook it back through your thumb, then let it slip down onto the turkey and pull straight down. Take two firm wraps, check the wing sits straight out over the hook, then add three more wraps at almost the breaking point of the thread.
Trim the wing butts close, wax the thread well, build the head, color it orange with a Sharpie, lock it in and finish with a glossy head cement.
