By Josh White

Step 1 Clip a clump of Partridge abut 1/8” wide, and tie in at the bend of the hook for the tail.
Step 2 Then, tie in the Copper Wire, and wrap the thread back to the tail
Step 3 Twist olive dubbing to thread, and wind dubbing to back of bead.
Step 4 Wrap Copper wire over dubbing to just behind bead.
Step 5 Cut four strands of Krystal Flash about ¾” long.
Step 6 Center the Krystal flash behind the bead and tie in, then fold the forward facing strands back and wrap thread in front so that all strands are facing back.
Step 7 Tie in partridge tip first just behind bead, and make 2-3 wraps around fly creating a collar.
Step 8 Make a couple wraps with thread in front of the collar, and twist black dubbing to the thread.
Step 9 Make 2 wraps with the black dubbing in front of collar, whip finish and that’s it.
