About this fly
Underbody: Use leader material on each side of hook to widen the body. FYI .012 is roughly 10lb Monofilament. Cover with UV glue. Abdomen: I have to tie the biot 2 - 3 times to get to the 60% point. Median Stripe: Center over Abdomen. Thorax: I blended Dark Brown Rabbit dubbing with Claret Ice Dub (50/50). Median Stripe: Use the same wire and center over Thorax. Abdomen/Thorax: Cover top with UV Thin for protection
