Attach 2 each 7mm dome eyes to ends of a 2 inch length of 20lb mono line with UV resin. Cut the Mono Line to 1/4 inch and flatten 1/8 inch tips with a smooth jaw pliers. Cut spare bundles (approximately 25 strands) of each color EP Fibers in long, medium, and short lengths. Cut 2 each at 6 inches, 3 each at 4 inches, and 3 each at 2 inches. Trim the fibers in the shape of a minnow, maintaining a total fly length of 3 inches. Tie in the eye stems just behind the hook eye.
