Tying
instruction |
|
|
|
 |
|
Fix the hook in
the vice and tie in the thread. |
|
|
|
 |
|
Tie in the black super chenille
for the extended body. |
|
|
|
 |
|
Tie in the
black part of the foam cylinder at top of the chenille. |
|
|
|
 |
|
Wrap the
thread to the hackle base and make a foundation to keep the
cylinder up right. |
|
|
|
 |
|
Tie in the hackle flat with the
shiny side up. |
|
|
|
 |
|
Dub the
thread. |
|
|
|
 |
|
Dub the body
in two thin layers. |
|
|
|
 |
|
Now, cut out
six pieces of pheasant tail fibres. (as long as possible) |
|
|
|
 |
|
Now you will
have to make two knots at each fiber. |
|
|
|
 |
|
I use to make
the outer knot first. |
|
|
|
 |
|
Like this. |
|
|
|
 |
|
Now, make a
new knot one third from the thick end. |
|
|
|
 |
|
Make six legs. |
|
|
|
 |
|
Tie in three
legs on each side of the foam cylinder. No reason to tie in
legs pointing forwards, they will bend over then you cast
the fly anyway. |
|
|
|
 |
|
Prepare the
hackle tips for the wing. |
|
|
|
 |
|
Tie in the
wings flat and divided. |
|
|
|
 |
|
Now dub the
wing foundation. |
|
|
|
 |
|
Turn the
hackle, each turn below the one before. About three turns. |
|
|
|
 |
|
Just leave
enough foam to make a dot to make the fly more visible at
the water. |
|
|
|
 |
|
The finish
Daddy Long leg. |
