A really simple but effective pattern. Its really simple to tie also.

Hook: B170
Thread :uni 8/0 rusty brown
Abdomen : copper and brown (ultra wire) copper wire
Thorax : harelug
Hackle : starling

1. Tie in a starling feather for the hackle.

2. Tie in 2 lengths of copper wire of differant colours , here Ive used brown and copper.

3. wind the wire in touching turns up the body.

4. continue winding the wires up the body till you get to the thorax then remove waste and dub the thread with haresear for the thorax.

5. Wind the dubbed thread to create a thorax.

6. Wind the hackle with hackle pliers , one turn should be ample, (and even then you might want to pull out the occasional fibre). Whip finish and varnish, now go and catch some fish!
