Tying instructions

Attach the thread and build up a thread base behind the eye.

Attach the "Fly Lipp" to the underside of the hook just behind the eye.

Use super glue to secure the connection.

Tie in a barbell eye on top of the hook, doing a figure 8 wrap to secure it.

Apply the Clear Cure Goo to the head area to build up the desired head shape and size.

After curing with the UV light, wrap the thread back to the bend of the hook.

Attach the orange/yellow barred rabbit strip at the tail.

Tie in the hackle flash.

Tie in the cross-cut rabbit strip and wrap up to just before the head.

Wrap the hackle flash, palmered, over the rabbit and build up a nice big collar behind the head.

Whip finish.
