9) Twist the thread clockwise to tighten and wrap back to the thorax. Wrap in spaced turns using the thread as a rib and making sure not to trap too much dubbing.
10) Cut off a piece of foam. Position the thread half way between were the thorax starts and the eye. Place the foam on top of the hook shank and secure.
11) Trim the waste foam (the vice side). The post should now be facing forward. Twist some more dubbing onto the thread.
12) Wind the dubbing to form the thorax. Be sure to wrap one or two wraps in front of the post to prop it up slightly
13) Form a dubbing loop and insert both CDC feathers. You can use as many different colour as you like. The Magic tool from Marc Petigean makes this very easy. Spin the bobbin to trap the CDC barbs.
14) Wrap the dubbing loop around the post. Each turn should be underneath the last. Make sure not to trap any barbs.
15) Pull all the CDC barbs backwards and whip finish, making sure to keep the eye clear.
16) Cut the excess thread and trim to post to size.
Now go give it a swim!
