Hi All; My first attempt at doing a step by step: Materials: Mustad 3366 hook size 10, 6/0 thread brown/black/or olive, feather from the back of a male ringneck pheasant either multicolored brown or multicolored greenish, green or brown dubbing to match feather color, medium beadchain eyes. tie bead chain eyes clouser style about a bead chain width behind eye of hook, secure with superglue on beadchain wraps. use the long fluff from one side at the base of your pheasant feather for the tail, tie in as tail above hook barb: Wax thread and dub a tapered body to beadchain eyes and proceed to cross wrap dubbing around eyes and finish with a little dubbing in front or eyes, be sure to leave room for thread head. prepare feather for hackle by stroking barbs back and attach feather with 2 or 3 thread wraps just behing eyes. wrap hackle collar using hackle pliers 2 or 3 wraps. Tie down hackle and cut of excess, then stroke and hold fibers towards back of fly with thumb and finger of non tying hand. tie several wraps back over hackle to get fibers to lay back. Form thread head then apply head cement to head. Completed fly should look something like this: Wayne

thanks wayne nicely done. so you use dubbing instead of the fluff from the feather. i guess that would give you more colors to choose from. also were did you get that hackel plyers from? the one i have i hate it with a passion.

Hi GA TURKEYHUNTER;
It's not really a hackle plier, it's and electronic clip that serves as one. I posted a picture with link in the "The Frugal Fly Fisherman" section of this site.
They cost all of $0.69 each.

Great use of all the feather. I used to use marabou for the tail, but the "fluff" on the feather looks finer and should have better action on a small fly. I used to toss the fluffy stuff in the trash!! Very frugal. LOL I'll tie some tonight....... on a 14 though!

The fluff at the base of the feather has tons of action in the water, maybe more so than marabou. J.

It's a shame the fluff isn't longer, I find it easier to work with than marabou but has equal action.
I've been taking fly tying courses at local Bass Pro, both fresh and saltwater. I've demonstrated how to tie this fly in both classes, people just love it and are amazed at how simple & frugal it is.
We need some more postings in this section, ok guys and gals I challenge you to post your favorite pattern as a step by step to share!

But it's primarily a warmwater fly designed for every sunfish known to man, and that includes LMB I've tied versions with mono eyes and some with quick descent dubbing; making these changes to the basic dynamics of the fly will keep it in different heights within the water column. It's an amazing little fly that had humble beginnings in a Ft Worth Fly shop as a challenge to using waste materials. Les

GREAT step-by-step..................Thanks for posting, I will tie some of these this week. I have plenty of the very same feathers....half the feather is fluff.....and yes...I was throwing all the fluff away too....I love tying with bead-chain //// Never liked tying bead-heads (stopped buying "bead-heads" a long time ago).......Don S.

For me this is as much a Trout-inator as a Brimanator. I have found that most "gill flies" are deadly on trout. Maybe California trout are just dumb.

This would be a great fly to teach a bunch of kids or some FF club. I tied a bunch of these last night out of an old green saddle I had laying around.

Great tie. And yes they will destroy many trout, looks a lot like a fly I have used as a crossover fly for years.
