Notes:

(1)  Excellent pocket water fly!  One bead size larger than normal is appropriate.
(2)  Wrap body smooth and flat with UTC 70.  Once tail is tied in make a dubbing loop and tie off at the tail.  Tie in gold wire.  Next double Sulky and wrap body.  Place spiky hare's in dubbing loop. Place more hair at the bottom of the loop to help form the collar.  Wrap as a ribbing. Brush out. Counterwrap with gold wire
(3)  The collar is formed with a dubbing loop.  Lean heavy on the deer hair.  Well picked out.
