Hook: TMC 7931C 3/0-5/0!
Thread: 3/0 Danville's waxed monocord
Eyes: Large aluminum barbell eye with holographic insert
Tail: Silver Flashabou
Body: white zonker
Back: Natural Zonker strip tied in at back first


Instructions:
  1. Tie in your big eyes first! Then I like to zap-a-gap the eyes so they wont move.
  2. Tie in your silver flashabou, cut at desired length
  3. Tie in a piece of natural zonker for the back & tail, leaving enough to bring forward.
  4. Take some white zonker, tie it in at the butt and wrap it around the shank to the eyes, then figure 8 around the eyes, tie off.T
  5. Then, I bring the chinchilla zonker at the butt over the white zonker and tie it off!
  6. As far as the hook goes, in the picture it is a 3/0 partridge but I prefer the daiichi's steelhead hooks or the TMC 7931C in a 3/0 or up to 5/0! It's a great dolly fly!
