Step 1: |
Begin this
pattern with your thread at the back of the hook. Tie in your Red Krystal Flash and then
Mirage. Put a bead of glue up the hook
shank and then wrap the GX2 towards the front of the hook. Leave yourself about 1/8" behind the
eye. |

Step 2: |
As the top
of this fly is to be green, cut a small amount of the green Streamer Hair and
tie it in by the butts with the tips hanging out over the front of the eye of
the hook. NOTE: The most common
mistake in tying hairwing flies is people using too much hair. This fly is called the 'Barely There' for a
reason... |

Step 3: |
On top of
the green hair tie in a small clump of the white Streamer Hair. Once you have secured that hair flip the
fly and tie in a clump of white streamer hair to the bottom of the hook
shank. This bunch should be
approximately the same amount as the total amount on the top of the hook
shank. |

Step 4: |
Work your
thread through the hair as you finesse it back on to the hook, and whip
finish the thread. Use a dot of Zap a
Gap and add an eye to one side of the hook.
Using a few drops on the other side add the second eye and squeeze the
eyes together until the plastic fuses. |

Step 5: |
The above
steps will show the approximate shape of the fly head. You finish this fly by dipping the fly past
the eyes in a head cement. That will
fix the head shape and give the front of the fly great durability. |
