Body Semperfli perdigon body tinsel, iridescent pearl (1 strand)
Coating UV resin, thin hard (a light film over the body)
Thorax UV Tracer squirrel dub, natural fox squirrel (the smallest possible pinch)
Collar CDC, natural grey (Fulling Mill) (1 feather in a dubbing loop)
How to tie it
Slide the 2.3 mm copper bead onto a size 16 hook and start the brown Nano Silk behind it. Use your bad scissors to trim the tag, Nano Silk will destroy a good pair.
Work the thread all the way back to where the barb would be, which is where the flat part of the shank stops and the bend starts, and make a wrap there.
Take five or six fibres from a medium speckled Coq de Leon feather, set them on top with a pinch wrap and a few securing wraps, then draw them back through until the tail is about one shank length. Bring the thread forward and trim the butts.
Tie in the amber wire behind the bead on your side of the shank and wrap about halfway down.
Tie in the iridescent pearl perdigon body tinsel at the same point and wrap both materials back to the tail with touching turns, then bring the thread forward again, leaving a gap behind the bead for the thorax and collar.
Wrap the pearl tinsel forward in touching turns to just behind that gap, capture it and trim.
Rib forward with the amber wire in open turns, then finish with a couple of really tight turns so the wire cannot work loose when fish are chewing on it. Helicopter the tag off.
Add a little thin hard UV resin to the body and spread it with a bodkin, only enough to lock everything down, not a thick coat. Cure it under the light.
Dub the very smallest amount of natural fox squirrel dub onto the thread and wrap it right behind the bead. That little ball is what holds the CDC fibres up in the next step instead of letting them lie back along the body.
Strip the fluff off a natural grey CDC feather, stroke the fibres back and chop the tip off, then spin a dubbing loop, lay the CDC into it, trim and spin it into a rope.
Comb the CDC rope out with a brush so the fibres are not knotted, sweep them back and wrap the collar, capturing it tightly with the thread.
