Supposed to work on run-ups from Hebgen in the Fall; may have to give that a try. Kinda like a Shakey Beely but a bit more subdued.
hook - Mustad 3906B #10
thread - Uni 8/0 fire orange
tail - pheasant tail
rib - x-small wire copper
abdomen - pheasant tail
thorax - Ice Dub orange
wing - Krystal Flash pearl
hackle - partridge
Mash down barb; start thread back about gap width back from the eye, tie in rib and wrap back to bend
tie in some PT fibers
wrap the butt ends forward, tie off and trim
counter-wrap wire rib; tie off, helicopter end
tie in some KF; let the ends hang out over the eye
dub thread, dub thorax
pull KF back over thorax and tie down; trim even with hook bend
tie in partridge feather (by the butt and the fibers tend to stand out from the fly, by the tip and they're more swept back - your choice)
wrap partridge, tie of, trim, whip finish (since soft hackles are classy), SHHAN
Regards,
Scott
