Tying Instructions: Start by tying in the light green on the bottom of the hook shank approximately half way to the eye. Tie it in leaving a desired tail length out the back. Form a loop and tie in again, then cut the remainder off and clip the loop. By doing this you can tie in 'three bunches' for each bunch taken from the package. Flip the hook over and repeat with he dark green mix. Repeat on top and botton as you move up the hook shank. As you get to the front, to where you have room for one more bunch of light green, tie in a half dozen or so strands of Copper Krystal Flash and the double them over and tie in the last light green. On top tie in a bit of the black Angle Hair and whip finish. You can then add some marker stripes is you so desire.
Presentation Tips: The pattern is most effective when fished on a sinking line with a short leader to keep it in he zone longer. The other option is to peg a weigh on he leader 2' or so up and short quick strips as if this were a jerk bait.
