Found this on Frankie Mcphillips' site; could work as a damsel.

hook - WFC Model 6 #8
thread - Danville 6/0 light olive
rib - small wire chartreuse
abdomen - medium tinsel pearl
wingcase - large tinsel pearl
thorax - FTD Starburst olive
hackle - olive

Mash barb/start thread at 2/3 mark; wrap to bend



Strip some fibers off a marabou plume (pinch/rip allows you to turn real crap into something useable)



Grab them by their base and twist between your fingers; then grasp them towards the tips, pinch and tear, hopefully ending up with a clean separation





Measure (shank length); tie in/trim, cover with thread (waxing helps cut down on the fluff)





Tie in rib and tinsel (in that order)



Brush shank with Super Glue, wrap abdomen; tie off/rim



Wrap rib to 2/3 mark; leave tag end free



Tie in wingcase



Dub thread/dub thorax





Tie in hackle; reverse palmer to back of thorax





Capture hackle tip with rib, finish wrapping thru thorax; helicopter end/cover with thread



Pull wingcase forward; tie down/trim, whip finish, SHHAN







Regards,
Scott
