Found this on a Russian site. Haven't tied a Rogue style body in a while; if you're not up for the Carnage method, it makes an acceptable product.
hook – Dai Riki 135 #8
thread/rib - UTC 140 black
abdomen - 1mm foam yellow
wing case/head - 1mm foam black
thorax - dubbing yellow
wing - Congo Hair white
legs - deer hair dyed dark dun
fold a piece of foam in half; cut at an angle, with the folded end at the narrowest point


insert needle into the folded end; mount needle in the vise, start thread



fold foam forward, take 2 soft loops, pull firmly and take a few more wraps


pull foam back, split the uprights with the thread and take a few wraps forward

pull foam forward an repeat the process




that should do it; brush the wraps with Sally and slide the body off the needle

mash barb, start thread

hold the body against the hook to determine placement, brush shank with Super Glue and tie in; trim


tie in wingcase

dub thread/dub shaggy thorax


tie in CH

create thread loop; wax

clean, stack, measure (approx 2x gap) a clump of deer hair; insert in clip, trim butts, insert in loop, spin




stroke fibers back, wrap, tie off/trim

pull wingcase forward, tie down, fold to create head, tie off, trim, whip finish, SHHAN




trim wing, hop on the nearest MI-8 and head for the tundra

Scott
