Brown or grizzly hackle Brown hackle (1, palmered)
Elk hair Natural tan deer hair (wing)
How to tie it
Start the thread at the 80% mark and wrap to the bend.
Tie in pearl braid at the bend and a hackle by the tip.
Wind the pearl braid forward to the 80% mark for a flashy body and tie off.
Palmer the hackle forward in 5-6 open turns to the 80% mark and secure.
Clean and stack a bunch of elk hair, measure it to reach just past the bend, and tie it in as a downwing with tips to the rear; let a few butt ends stand up as a stub head.
Trim the butts to a short stub, whip finish behind the eye and cement.
