    Eyes: Burnt Mono, Booby eyes or tungsten Bead.
    Body: Antron Dubbing, color Green/Olive/Brown/Grey or combination to create the right color.

    Burn mono and tie in eyes or use the Booby eyes or tungsten eyes. (will describe later why the different eyes)
    Take long strands of Antron yarn and tie in half way of the piece, two thirds up the hook shank.
    Tie a batch on both sides, and top and bottom.
    Fold back the front facing sections.
    Tie down the body, to make it easier to tie in the rubber legs.
    Tie the 3 sets of legs in and fix in position with some antron dubbing on the thread.
    Take the fly out of vice and grip in required position the end of the body in hackle pliers and melt the antron.
