To
finish the fly, frugally coat the fly with Clear Cure Goo Hydro and cure with
uv light.
Step 1: Place the beads on to the hook and place in the vise. I place both hooks with the concave side of the bead facing the hook bend.
Step 2: Tie in the Hen Cape feather by the tip behind the first bead and wrap the hook about two turns and secure. I tend to be sparse with the hen cape, this way the second bead will fit closer and push the fibers back over the fly body.
Step 3: Tie in the Veevus Body Quill and wrap the thread back to the end of the hook shank. After the Body Quill is secure, you will need to build a tapered body with your tying thread and wind back to the end of the hook shank.
Step 4: Wrap the Body Quill forward until you have the desired amount of Body Quill applied. You can wind forward and backward to build the body to your liking. The Body Quill lays quite flat and wraps nicely. Secure the Body Quill and spiral wrap your tying thread forward to secure and give a segmented appearance. Whip finish the thread. Any imperfections will be filled in with the final step.
Step 5: Apply CCG Hydro over the Body Quill and thread rib. I use a dubbing needle to smooth the hydro out. Be sure to coat the body on all sides and keep the body tapered. Hit the fly with the UV light to cure and your done. This is a very simple fly to tie and is bombproof. It sinks very fast and is a good prospecting nymph. I believe it works quite well as a caddis larva imitation and a great fly for high or fast moving water that you find in plunge pools on high elevation wild streams.
