Hook: Partridge Klinkhamer X-treme #14
Thread: Sheer 14/0 Brown
Body: Wapsi SLF Squirrel – Natual Fox
Thorax: Peacock
Wing-post: Poly-yarn
Hackle: Whiting
Up to when it is time to tie in the hackle this pattern is very simple, but once you get the tie-in of the hackle around the wing-post it comes down to avoiding trapping too much hackle beneath the thread.
The poly-yarn gives good visual aid to the fly and if you look from underneath it you can see the footprint it will give on the surface. A great pattern that can be varied with colors and scruffiness to achive different behaviour.
