This little guy is my go to fly when I want to catch bluegill. It's also caught bass, crappie and catfish. I didn't design this fly and I'm not sure who did but it's an absolute must have for warmwater.



Hook - Mustad 3366 #10
Eyes - Gold Beadchain
Collar - Pheasant
Body - Dark Brown Dubbing
Tail - Marabou from bottom of Pheasant Feather

1.) Build up a small amount of thread about 1 bead width behind hook eye.

2.) Attach beadchain using figure 8 wraps & secure with a drop of glue & wrap thread to hook bend.

3.) Remove marabou from the bottom of the Pheasant feather and attach to top of hook at the bend.

4.) Twist the dubbing onto thread and wrap foward, over the top & between the eyes returning the thread to just behind the eyes.

5.) Attach the remainder of the feather just behind the eyes.

6.) Wrap (not palmer) the feather forward toward the eyes, making sure to pull feather fibers back towards hook bend after each wrap.

7.) Once you have the collar on the way you want it, add a little more dubbing & wrap back to just in front of the eyes.

8.) Whip finish, add a drop of superglue & you're done...bg
