Tying Instructions
1. Tie in the goose biot tail and the end of the shank.
2. Tie in lead strips, one on top of the length of the shank, one underneath.
Flatten the lead vertically to provide a slim profile.
3. Tie in a strip (1/2-inch by 3 inches) of open-cell foam at the biot
tie-in point and wrap the length and back to build up the underbody;
tie off and cut excess.
4. Tie in a piece of vernille on each side near the bend of the hook.
5. Weave the vernille by tying an overhand (or granny) knot with the
chartreuse in front of the black vernille, but push the hook shank through
the knot, placing the black vernille on top of the hook. Tighten the
knot.
6. After the first knot, lay the hackle on top of the hook tip-first,
and then continue tying knots with the vernille until the foam is covered,
cinching in the feather. Re-attach the thread and tie down the vernille,
cutting the excess.
7. Palmer the hackle around the body, try to position the feather in
the center of the black diamond created by the vernille and tie off.
8. Dub the head with black squirrel, whip-finish and cement
