Tying Instructions

1. De-barb hook and start thread.

 
2. Tie on wing at middle of hook shank. Try to sheath the hook shank with the wing material

 
3. Tie on Microfibbets tail. It is tricky to mount them at the right angle so that they are not too close or too spread out.

 
4. Dub a thin body

 
5. Half-hitch to finish (a whip-finish is too tricky on this fly).
