Instructions
Step
1: Make a blend of Slinky Fiber and Angel Hair in desired
colors.
Step
2: Add portions of hair near the bend of the hook to form the
tail and body of the fly. To form the cylindrical head, stack
clumps of material on the top and bottom of the hook shank
working your way to the eye of the hook.
Trim the material to achieve the desired rounded shape.
Step 3: Secure solid plastic eyes
by applying Fletch-tite Platinum glue which is viscous enough to
soak through the head and then apply Zap-a-dap-a-goo which will
hold the eyes in place.
