This is just like doing a wingcase on the Hare's Ear and Pheasant Tail
|
Whip finish then start with brown or black thread.
|
 |
| Grasp wingcase with right hand. | |
| Pull forward between any hackle or legs depending on the fly. Onsome flies, you may want to trim hackle on top as with a Montanastone, march brown, if you have palmered a hackle across thorax. | |
| Hold wingcase with good tension as you make a loose wrap of thread. | |
| Notice how wingcase is still straight forward. You may want to angle it toward you a little so that when we tighten thread, thread torque doesn't pull case material to far side of shank.
|
 |
| Tighten thread. Let the thread pressure bring the wingcase material down to the hook shank, this keeps material in a neat bundle on top of shank. Maintain thread tension and add 4 or 5 more wraps. | |
| Cut excess wingcase close to thread wraps. |
