About this fly
Tie in both the body and rib upfront not to go past the collar and use the body colored wire to tie in the rib wire as the wire travels down the shank. Use both wires coming back forward in a rib fashion until you reach the thorax and tie them off. If you want to use UV put a small dab on the body before ribbing forward. Once the rib is done use the UV light to cure the resin.
