*Materials with links give you direct access to that product at the J. Stockard store.
Tying Instructions: 1. Tie in and add the trailing shuck.

2. Tie in 2 strands of 6/0 Unithread and use an overhand weave to form the body.

3. Tie off the weaving thread, loop back over the abdomen for the loop/post and tie off the loop. I add a 2-3 whip at this point to secure the loop.

4. See Ian Moutter's book on tying paraloop style for instructions on this hackling technique (an excellent book, by the way).

5. Dub the thorax and finish the head.

Presentation Tips: Tie in olive, brown, cream, PMD, yellow, and balck to match local hatches.
