Merged a couple styles to see what happens. Went thru a few tying sequences and this seemed to work the best.
Finally got the damn cast off and replaced it with a removable splint; even though it’s only the left wrist, it sure got in the way and made tying a lot more complicated.
hook - Dai Ike 300 #10
thread - UTC 140 black
tail - moose body hair
body - deer hair
rib - tying thread
wing - deer hair
Mash barb, start thread at 2/3 mark, wrap to bend

Clean, stack, measure (slightly longer than entire hook) a few moose body hairs; tie in/trim


Wrap thread to one eye width back from eye; clean, stack, measure (shank length) a healthy clump of deer hair, trim butts/tie in with 2 soft loops, pull tight and let it spin



Clean, stack, measure (tips just past bend) another clump of deer hair; trim butts, tie in against wing butts, then spiral wrap to bend


Wrap forward, crossing previous wraps, return to base of wing

Push deer hair back; try to distribute evenly around shank

Pull wing back and create thread dam to keep it in place

Whip finish, SHHAN

Trim out hair underneath

Go fishing



Regards,
Scott
