SBPatt 0 Report post Posted May 19, 2020 Based on a pic from the Henry’s Fork Angler site. A few alterations in materials, a bit fuller-winged than that one and I’m not crazy about my choice in thread color (which switched during the tying process); notional sequence but with the materials at hand, it seemed logical. hook - Dai Riki 300 #10 thread - Danville 6/0 tan/MFC 8/0 sand rib - small wire copper abdomen - dubbing yellowish tan (bleached Aussie possum) thorax - Ice Dub Hare’s Ear Tan shellback/tail - shmootz from pheasant rump (marabou-like) wing - Congo Hair baitfish grey hackle - partridge Mash barb/start thread; tie in rib and wrap to bend Dub thread/dub abdomen to 2/3 mark Dub thread/dub thorax to 3/4 mark Measure (gap width past bend) pheasant shmootz; tie in/trim Rib body; helicopter end/cover with thread Tie in a clump of CH (note thread change; next time I’ll tie it with dark brown); fold and wrap back Trim wing (halfway to tips of tail) Prep partridge Tie in forward by tip, dull side facing out Fold partridge back, tie down, locking feather in place Wrap partridge, stroking fibers back; tie off/trim, whip finish, SHHAN Regards, Scott Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
