Tying Steps
1. Lay down a thread base.
2. Tie in 2 polar bear guard hairs. Hairs should about a shank's length,
and tied in so that they form a split "V" tail.
3. At the bend, tie in the hackle.
4. At the bend, tie in a thin strip of raffia.
5. Select a matching pair of hen feathers, one from each side of the skin.
6. Place the feathers in the burner, convex (shiny) sides facing each other,
and burn away the excess material.
7. Position the wings, convex sides facing each other, about 1/4 shank's length
from the eye of the hook.
8. Tie in the wings so that they from a "V".
9. Wrap the raffia forward and tie in at the rear of the wings and cut excess.
10. Wrap the hackle forward and tie in front of the wings and cut excess.
11. Form a small size head, whip finish, and glue.
12. Using scissors, cut an inverted V-shaped channel on the bottom of the
fly. This will ensure that the fly will land upright when it hits the water.
