SBPatt 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2015 Wanted to get a more prominent speckled wing, so I used guinea instead of partridge. Also simplified (for me) the wing/wingcase sequence; don't have to do a lot of cyphering to get the length right. As always, change colors/size to meet your needs. hook - Dai Riki 305 #14 thread - MFC 8/0 sand tail - grizzly hackle fibers abdomen - goose biot underwing/wingpad - CDC dark dun thorax - hare's ear dubbing overwing - guinea mash barb, start thread; create a small bump above barb even tips on some grizzly fibers, measure (shank length)); tie in/trim butts tie in (moistened) biot, notch side down for ribbed effect; wrap forward, tie off/trim even tips on a pair of CDC feathers, measure (hook length); tie in, leaving butts long dub thread/dub thorax pull CDC butts forward; tie off/trim sweep underwing back, set angle with thread dam trim out center from a guinea feather measure (tips to bend); tie in, letting thread torque flare/distribute but not spin the guinea trim guinea, half hitch x 2, SHHAN Regards, Scott Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pica 0 Report post Posted July 3, 2015 Very nice looking tie and a nice pattern. I tied up a few tonight with black biot, black cdc dubbing and a wing of dark dun mallard flank, the winging technique works great. Thanks for sharing this.
