Biot & PT

 
tied by dwiltshire
Target Species: Trout,
Recommended Region: General Europe,
Imitation: Mayflies,
Material List:
Hook: B175 #14
Thread: 14/0 Sheer, olive
Ballast: Flat lead (optional)
Tail: Pheasant tail fibres
Abdomen: Turkey biot, olive
Thorax & wing bud: Pheasant tail

Tying Instructions: Kept slim, I suggest winding the biot over a layer of cement for durability.

Tails in first and catch in the biot. Form a neat under-body with the thread and then winf the biot up over cement (not too much though!).

A bunch of PT for the buds and anoter wound for the thorax and then finish with a neat head.

Presentation Tips: Singly, in a team, NZ style... and which way. But upstream ;)
