Rusty Dragon

Hook - TFS 2305
Thread - White flat wax nylon or uni stretch and rusty brown
Ribbing - Rust colored liquid lace, v-rib, d-rib, body glass, swannundaze etc
Underbody - Built up and tapered flat wax nylon or uni stretch
Body - Rust colored floss
Shell back - Magic shrimp foil, scud back, nymph skin etc. tie in at hook eye and will be pulled back ove the thorax
Eyes - Small black bead chain under hook shank
Legs - Pheasant tail fibers

Use flat waxed nylon thread or white uni stretch to build the tapered body shape.
Tie off and attach the other thread to finish the fly.
Flytiers sure have a way at making things difficult
