About this fly
I usually run the chenille up to the bead to help keep it in place, clip it off the back of the hook , slightly past the bend and burn it. Carefully… Grab a hen saddle feather, clip the tip out and fold it across the chenille to “veil” it. Add a tiny bit of flash, then start the copper wire and sun the body. Finish the rib and finish the fly. This is best when fished under a small midge in higher water, it attracts the fish and usually will also catch fish while the midge does too.
