Tying Process

Hook 1- Tie in two yellow rooster feathers and two black rooster feathers. Tie in a few strands of salt water flashabou. Tie in and palmer a large achlappin feather. Glue head. Hook 2- Tie in hook and bead. I use 45 pound maxima. Be careful to leave enough space for back hook to move but not foul. Glue. Tie in and palmer another schlappin feather. Tie in skirt style a tab of rubber legs. Dealer choice. Wrap and palmer a barred marabou feather up to head. In this fly I prepped the head before hand. I used a Gnarly head glued to hook and coated head with liquid fusionx2 on spinning wheel for 24 hours.
