Stack and tie in deer hair wing on top of hook, near eye, tips extending past hook eye, and spread wing out 180 degrees. Cut wing hair butts on a bias to create a taper and wrap over butts to bend of hook. Tie in deer hair tail, cut butts of tail on a bias and wrap over butts to create a tapered body. Dub body with fur and dub a little bump ahead of wing to prop wing up. Whip finish and SHHAN.
