About this fly
I tied the tail in with white thread, then switched to olive silk and ensured a nice body shape. Then switched to red silk and tied in the hotspot. I then switched to the black thread and tied the over body elk in and used evenly spaced wraps backwards keeping the hair on the top half of the body. When I reached the tail I made a few tight wraps, whip finished it and then wrapped forward with the same even spacing. After that business as usual, tied the underwing in, the main wing and then added a small clump of bleached hair to help with sighting it on the water.
Inside the vault every material on this fly opens to its own card, and you can save the fly to your own boxes.
