This is just like palmering the rib on the Hare's ear, Prince and Pheasant Tail Nymphs. Also just like palmering hackle on Caddis fly.
|
Slowly palmer peacock rib material forward to end of floss body in evenly spaced turns. |
 |
|
Should take about 5 or 6 wraps depending on size of fly. |
 |
| When you get to the end, tie off floss with about three tight wraps of thread. | |
| Cut off excess floss and secure with 5 or 6 wraps of thread. | |
|
Palmer thread back over body and rib material to reinforce these delicate materials. |
 |
| I love it when a plan comes together! This reinforcing will help prevent material unraveling when that 15 " brown tears into it. |
