Another one I found on Peter Steen's site. Notional tying sequence.

hook - WFC Model 16 #18
thread - Danville 6/0 black
shuck/wing - Congo Hair white
rib - x/small wire silver
abdomen - tying thread/resin
hackle - grizzly
thorax - Ice Dub peacock black

Mash barb, start thread at point above point



Double over a few strands of CH to create a loop; tie in with butts to the rear, along with rib





Wrap halfway down bend, then return to tie-in



Rib body; tie off/helicopter end, cover with resin/cure (optional)



Hook looped end of CH on gallows



Tie in hackle at base of loop



Wrap hackle up (length of thorax)



And back to base; tie off/trim



Stroke fibers back



Dub thread/dub thorax





Pull the loop forward over thorax; tie down, pull loop up and tie in front to set wing angle





Half hitch x 2, SHHAN



Thin out shuck a bit; trim wing/shuck







Regards,
Scott
