Red Eye Damsel SBS

[Morne]

Had a bit of success with this fly the last while

Hook: Size 14 2x long
Eyes: Burned mono filament and red UV fly paint
Tail: Rabbit zonker fibers
Body: Stretchy nymph rib
Thorax: Olive/green seals dubbing.

Place hook in vice and tie in Mono filament with figure of eight wraps. Make sure both sides are the same length.The longer the sections the bigger the eyes. These are 1.5 cm long.



Use a lighter and burn the mono filament to form the eyes. I use a small tweezer and just pinch the last bid that I don't want burned.



Cover the eyes with red UV Fly paint and dry with a UV torch (or go stand in the sun for a while making sure you take the fly with). You can also use the fly paint to make the eyes as big as you want.



Cut some fibers from a zonker strip and tie in as a tail, and take your thread forward.
