Notes:
To tie the body, I tied the olive tail in with white thread. At the same time I tied 4 strands of orange silk in on the bottom side at the tail tie in. Switching to olive silk I wrapped the body to create a nice shape. Switched to black thread, tied the over wing in and then pulled the orange silk forward and tied it in. I then made evenly space wraps backwards keeping to the tail, made a few tight turns and whip finished. I then wrapped forward with the same even spacing. Then business as usual with tying in the underwing cdc, I mixed and stacked the two colours of elk for the main wing.
