mash barb, start thread, wrap to bend



prep (convex-to-convex) a pair of grizzly tips; measure (shank length), tie in/trim

dub thread/dub body





tie in hackle; reverse palmer to tail





capture hackle tip with wire; rib body, helicopter end, cover with thread, trim hackle tip



tie in front hackle by tip - 30 seconds in the microwave in a damp napkin to make winding the stiffer butt section (include the fluff) easier
