Dressings

• Hook : Size 12 - 14.
• Thread : 8/0 Black Uni.
• Tail : Pheasant tail fibres.
• Underbody : Lead wire (optional).
• Body : Hessian string dubbing (Type used by gardeners).
• Thorax : Hessian string dubbing.
• Rib : Fine copper wire.
• Wing Case : Pheasant tail fibres.

Create the hessian string dubbing by brushing out with a wire brush. Although very coarse it spins very tight if used in a dubbing whirl. Varnish the wing case when the fly is complete.
