Hey again, just wanted to try and shoot a step-by-step for the site tonight while at the fly tying desk. Tied a new fly for my box resembling the one my mate Allan used with success this last weekend. A simple variation over our very used theme of flatwing deceivers (well actually not a flatwing tie but the materials are the same).

Materials:
Hook:	Tiemco 8089 #6
Thread:	Uni 6/0 White
Eyes:	Real Eyes 4 mm silver
Tail 1:	Orange Bucktail
Tail 2:	4-5 White saddle feathers
Tail 3:	Mirage Flash Opal + Lime
Tail 4:	Orange Bucktail
Collar 1:	Chartreuse Bucktail
Body:	Pearl Mylar Tinsel
Collar 2:	Chartreuse Bucktail

#1 - Hook in vise

#2 - Tie a base of two bumbs for the eyes/weight

#3 - Tie on eyes and secure with generous varnish or super glue

#4 - Tie in half the bucktail for the tail - other half goes on top later

#5 - Tie in a base of fluff for the saddle feathers

#6 - Tie in the saddle feathers in tapered lengths parwise - I used 4-5 feathers

#7 - Cut off the remaining stems of the feathers and taper and tie in a few strands of flash

#8 - Tie in the top half of the tail bucktail and spread it around the feathers

#9 - Tie in the first contrast colored bucktail collar

#10 - Trim bucktail ends down and tie ind some pearl mylar for the body

#11 - Wrap the body and secure

#12 - Tie in the front bucktail collar and spread it evenly around the shank

#13 - Make a nice head and whip finish - To give the fly a nice shape hold it under a fast running hot tab and let it dry up in that shape (not done here yet on this final shot)

A very useful pattern that can be varied endlessly, not a very bulky and huge fly but moves very well and attracting in the water and is very easy to cast on regular gear.

Hope its useful
