Here is what I have done the night before, hoping the weather will be fine on the morning so I will have the chance to try my creation.
Materials used:
Hook: Daiichi 2720 5/0
Tread 6/0 -tan
Head: Yellow tungsten cone head
Clear Cure thick goo
Eyes: spangles
Tail: Green bunny strips
Orange bunny strip
Pearl flash
Body: Green Bunny Strip
Orange bunny strip
Violet bunny strip
Pearl flash
Violet and Black flash
Step 1: Attach the cone head on the hook and then secure the hook on the vice.
Step 2: Tie the tread to the hook shank.
Step 3: Tie a bunch of orange bunny at the end of the hook shank.
Step 4: Tie two green bunny strips 1 1/2 times the length of the hook shank. Tie them along the hook shank so there are no gaps and the materials are on one level.
Step 5: Tie the flash the same way you tied the bunny strips an then cut it by angle so the length of the bands is not equal.
Step 6: Tie the green bunny strip that is going to be used for making the body.
Step 7: Wrap the body to the middle of the hook, then secure it with two turns of tying tread.
Step 8: Tie on some pearl flash.
Step 9: Wrap the green bunny strip 2/3 the length of the hook shank and trim the waste off.
Step 10: Tie a bunch of orange strip on both sides.
Step 11: Attach the violet strip.
Step 12: Wrap the violet strip to the end of the hook shank. Tie it and trim it off.
Step 13: Tie the violet and the black flash on the top of the fly.
Step 14: Stick the spangles with the clear cure
Step 15: Flash them with the lighter for 30 seconds. Then add some more clear cure goo and form a head.
Step 16: Leave the fly to rest over the night.
…. On the other morning the weather was nice and sunny. I went to the river to give a try to the fly.
And that is what I caught.
Last Step: Release the fish !
