By: Frank W. Zervous "FlySlinger"

Hook - Mustad 3366 #6
Thread - Danville A
Thread - Uni 6/0 Blue Doc
Head Cement - Daves or better
Sparkle Foam
Black Angoras Goat

Step 1

Picture
This Fly you have to glue your thread to the hook shank.....Use a 3366 # 6 Mustad hook...You don't wont want this fly to twist on you.

Step 2

Picture
Well you want to put the  legs on in a bunch tie them down real tight.....then you want to go to the sparkle foam and cut two sections about 4 or 5 inches long...about 1/2 inch wide
Peal the paper of the back and tie the sharp in down real good.
about half way down the hook tie it back toward the bend over the legs...

Step 3

Picture
This is the way I want you to cut them just like that and about 4 inches long and tie the pointed on in first tight... crystal side down and pull the paper off.

Step 4

Picture
Now pick a piece of yellow about 4 inches long and cut it.

Step 5

Picture
Now take the Yellow sliver and tie it down about half way and then wind it back to the bend.

Step 6

Picture
Then grab the yellow Foam and wind it to the end of the other piece and then follow with the thread Wrap it down real good... This will give it a center filling that will make it float all day.

Step 7

Picture
Now we take the other piece of  foam and paste  the the two blue ones together   now we are going to give the blue ones sparkly  effect and you will figure it all shortly.....and we are going to use dubbing loops about 6 or 7 of them.

Step 8

Picture
So now we have the fly all dubbed so We now are going to pull the blue sparkle foam over pretty tight.....not so tight that you pull it apart if you do we will have to start all over again and we don't want to do that.

Step 9

Picture
Now we are going to teach Something else new  We are going to dub with a loop back words.

Step 10

Picture
Now we are going to change thread color.

Step 11

Picture
Now we are going to pull blue foam backwards and we are going to tie it down real tight with the blue thread.

Step 12

Picture
Now we are going to tie the legs on.

Step 13

Picture
Now we are going to put the eyes on.

Step 14

Picture
Stick the eyes on.

Finished Product

Picture
This is the fly with all legs trimmed.
