Got the idea for this, in particular the winging sequence, from watching Davie McPhail's

video. Took this as an opportunity to get some use out of a redhead skin (plus the fact that I have no blue eared pheasant or decent teal flank).

 

 

hook - Dai Riki 899 #6

thread - Danville 6/0 black

tag - tinsel gold

tail - peacock swords

rear body - floss red

front body - peacock herl

body hackle - duck feather (redhead used here)

collar - flank (redhead used here)

wing(s) - hen badger (2 per side)

 

mash barb, start thread; tie in tinsel at point

wrap tinsel to barb and back; tie off/trim

measure (tips to bend) some peacock sword fibers; tie in/trim at 50% mark, cover with thread
