Recommended Posts

A few changes to Al Campbell's version. His used marmot; I went with woodchuck. Also, Congo Hair replaces yarn for the abdomen loop and a bullethead instead of spun deer for a little different look.

 

hook Dai Riki 280 #8

thread - UTC 140 burnt orange

abdomen - Congo Hair orange/woodchuck underfur

wing(s) - woodchuck guard hair

head/collar - elk hair

legs - medium rubber brown

 

 

 

Mash barb, start thread at head 1 eye width back from eye
