Catch in a length of black antron along the hookshank to form a tail and secure the bulk with thread.
Catch in two lengths of Krystal flash, one at either side of the tail.
Catch in a length of medium oval silver tinsel.
Catch in two lengths of Black Anton and tie down the bulk. (These are going to be the back and Thorax cover).
Now catch in another length of black antron (roughly 12-14 inches in length) and create a cigar shaped body with thread. Return the thread to the hook eye when done.
Wind the Antron up and down the hookshank to create the desired body effect. Tie off at the eye and trim waste Antron.
Wind the oval tinsel up the body to create a rib, tie off at the eye and trim waste.
Pull the remaining two strands of Antron forward over the back and thorax, tie off at the eye, trim waste and build a neat head. Varnish the head and then finally trim the tail to the desired length.
On the original pattern a white eye at either side of the fly was painted on. I find it just as effective without.
