At the vise.
Work through the numbered steps in order. Use the written materials and proportions as your guide; select an image for a closer look.
Eyes
Tie bead chain on top of the shank behind the eye using firm crossing wraps, so the fly can ride point-up.
Worm tail
Tie chenille at the bend with a tail about one shank long. Bind and trim the butt end.
Body
Dub an even body from the tail to behind the eyes. Brush lightly to loosen a few fibers.
Collar
Tie a hen feather by its tip and wrap a short collar, sweeping fibers back. Secure, whip finish, and cement only the knot.
On the water.
Place just ahead of a feeding carp and let it settle into view. Move it only enough to attract attention.
