Tying instructions 1. Tie in copper wire and floss to hook bend 2. Cover rear 2/3 of shank with floss 3. Wrap wire over floss and tie off 4. Tie in about 6 strands of krystal flash on top of hook. Trim to about 1/8" to form wing (like for a serendipity). 5. Tie in 2-3 strands of peacock and wrap 2-3 times to form head. 6. Tie off, whip finish and add cement. The extra flash in the wing serves as a bit of an attractor when fish are a little finicky. | |
