    Default A hackel wing

    Hook: Mustad 1/16 # 2
    Thread: Black
    Tail: About 10 white rooster hackle fibres
    Ribb: Copper wire
    Body: Chartreuse craft fur cut fine and dubbed
    Wing: A large white rooster hackle - wind as hackle 4 or 5 turns, then after tying in hackle and cutting off excess, stroke all the fibres upwards, then take three turns of tying thread around the up-held hackle barbs. This gives a kind of pony tail. Wind the tying thread down the hook, locking the wing into position.
    Hackle: Green hen
    Head: Green nail polish
