Materials

Hook: dry fly
Thread: orange
Tail: mink tail fibers
Body: orange dubbing
Hackle: grizzly

Tying Instructions

1.

Attach the thread to the hook and wind back to the bend. Tie in a small ball of dubbing and then tie in a pair of mink tail fibers, one for each side.

2.

Continue dubbing a thin body till midway up the shank of the hook.

3.

Tie in a grizzly hackle and wrap about 4-5 turns. Clip the top and bottom flush with the body so that there are only fibers sticking out of the sides.

4.

Add a bit more dubbing after the hackle, form the head and you are done.
