HOOK SIZE #10 Kamasan B175 for it's strength and gap 

THREAD Black 6/0 Uni Thread

UNDER BODY Foam

BODY Yellow Chenille

LEGS Orange Pheasant Tippets

Over Wing Yellow Poly

HEAD Natural Deer Hair Spun and trimmed to shape

METHOD

Leaving a third of the hook shank clear behind the eye, tie in your thread and wind back towards the rear of the hook. Stop at hook bend.

Tie in the chenille and wind the thread forward to where you first started. Then wind the chenille to this same point and tie off and trim excess.

Take your pheasant tippets and tie one bunch on each side of the hook. This should be angled out from the body and roughly level in length with the end of the hook. Trim excess.

Take some poly fibres and tie in as overwing. This should extend back past end of hook.

Take some deer hair and stack it in a stacker or your fingers. Tie this in without spinning it so that you get a nice collar. Then add several more sections of deer hair, one at a time, compacting the previously added bunch before putting more on.

Tie off,  whip finish and trim to shape.
