zonker


Zonker





1. Wrap thread around hook
2. Tie in rabbit strip. Use a bodkin to lift any trapped hairs from the thread wraps, and be sure to leave enough strip to go along the hook.
3. Tie in wire and body material. ( I personally like to tie them in in this order, its easyer to wrap.)
4. Wrap body material and tie down. Repeat step with wire. ( You may wrap wire over rabbit strip for a better looking fly.)
5. Tie down the rest of  the rabbit strip at the head.
6. Tie in hackle in front of head.
7. Wrap hackle and tie off.
8. Tie off fly, and head cement. lift any hairs out from under thread or wire.
