The Dressing


Hook: Knapek Type G size 8 - 14 or Partridge CZ Czech Nymph same sizes
Underbody: 32 turns of round lead wire
Thread: UTC70 brown
Body: Chopped and dubbed in split thread rabbit body fur brush heavily with an old toothbrush and then squeeze the whole affair with smooth bladed pliers
Parasitic spot: Orange dyed seals fur
Bloodline: A doubled strand of Glo Brite No2 pink floss
Shellback: Hends Magic Foil Pearl
Rib: Fine gold wire


The trick with the dressing is to keep the body ultra skinny. This is achieved by squeezing the lead wire with smooth nosed pliers before dubbing the body. The body during the dubbing process should be brushed on the upward wind and on the downward wind with an old toothbrush.

Now that is a good tip.
