Step 5:
Put the foam ontop of the hook so that the part where you have tied in the bucktail is in the middle of the "V". Secure the tread over the foam about 2-5mm infront of the V, pul it tigh so that it compresses into tha foam and secures it to the hook shank.
Step 6:
Wind the tread forward under the foam to just infront of the hook eye, push the foam down and repeat as in step 5 to secure the foam to the shank. Whip finish and varnish. I like to varnish the whole underside and all the tread just for added security.
This fly floats realy well and works on any retrieve. Twohanded gives it a good fleeing action while a single handed retrieve can make it to pop loadly and atract fish from further away.
I would recomend using this fly on a fast hand retrieve when you are casting at a chase and a one handed retrieve when you are blind fishing.
Your coments whould be appreciated.
