Tying Instructions: Tie in the tails and dub the hook from 2/3 of the shank, backwards towards the bend / tails. Spin the bobbin to chord the thread and wind forwards in open wrpas to form the rib. Tie in the wing and dub the thorax. Then hackle around the post. I like to whip finish under the hackle too.
