Instructions:
1.
Secure the Tiemco TMC 2312 # 6 and roughly shape a body with a strip of lead.2.
Secure the lead neatly with Uni Thread 6/0 olive and at the same time prepare the body shape. At the end, make a small ball with the thread. This should spread the fibers in the next steps.
3.
Tie in the tip of a CDC feather olive, cut it off and evenly fill the back of the body with the thread.4.
Infront of the tail, first tie in the Veniard Magic Glass V-Rib lite olive. If you warm the tip with a lighter and pull it out with your fingers, it's a bit easier. Then tie in Flat Pearl Tinsel & tie the thread forward.
5.
Tie the Tinsel forward.6.
Now make the body with the Veniard Magic Glass V-Rib lite olive and stop 2/3 of the way to the hook eye.
7.
Now tie in a small amout CDC as a little wing.8.
From the Wapsi Thin Skin Mottled Oak orange (brown I unfortunately had not) cut a strip & cut out a small triangle at the back. Then tie it in just infront of the CDC wing.
9.
Fold back the thin skin, tie a thin layer SLF Davy Wotton Squirrel Dub. Then on each side 3 legs of geese biots & always a layer of dubbing inbetween to seperate the legs. Don´t use to much dubbing, the heads should be just a tiny bit larger than the body.
10.
Make 2 eyes from 2 beads from melted monofilament (here suffix) and tie them in and secure with cross windings.
11.
Now pull the skin over the head to form the thorax and secure it just behind the eyes.12.
Hide the cross windings with a tiny amount of dubbing to form the head. Then fold the Thin Skin over it, tie it to the front, cut it off and form the head and fishish the fly. Secure with varnish or Zap A Gap.
13.
Then embed the head in Bug Bond UV glue to make the fly stronger.14.
Finally bend the legs and fix the kinks with a little bug bond. The "ankles" are unfortunately not preserved in the pattern.
Galaxy 50 Denier GSP Tying Thread
Galaxy 50 Denier GSP is a tying thread with very high tensile strength for precise and robust fly patterns. The thread is made of gel spun polyethylene (GSP) and offers extremely high tear resistance with a small diameter. It allows you to tie compact, clean bodies without unnecessary thread build-up.The smooth surface ensures controlled winding. Materials such as dubbing, synthetic fibers, deer hair, or synthetic wings can be fixed precisely. Galaxy GSP 50 Denier really comes into its own with small streamers, nymphs, jigs, and modern trout streamers.The tying thread is available in several colors. This allows you to match the tying thread exactly to the body, head, or hotspot. The thread does not fray, does not twist uncontrollably, and remains stable even under high tensile pressure. This saves time at the vise and increases the durability of the fly.Galaxy 50 Denier GSP is suitable for anyone who values control, strength, and clean results when fly tying. Ideal for tying trout streamers, streamers for streams and rivers, and finely constructed nymphs.• Extremely high tensile strength with a small diameter for stable and compact flies• Smooth surface for clean windings without thread build-up• Ideal for trout streamers, nymphs, jigs, and small streamers• High tensile strength for secure fixing of hair, dubbing, and synthetic fibers• Available in several colors for clean heads and targeted color accentsQuantity: 100 yds / 91.4 m per spool
