Pattern illustrated in above linked page.
Hook: 2XL nymph hook ring or down eye, usually #8 or #6
Thread: Red
Weight: .020 five wraps or leave unweighted and use a sinking line
with shorter leader
Body: Wapsi Spectrumized Brown (Canadian Brown) yarn
Hackle collar: Yellow dyed or natural pheasant rump feather, tied in
at tip.
Over and underwing: Peacock sword feather
Head: Peacock herl
pattern is tied back to front in this order:
1. Wrap and affix lead to middle third of hook shank.
2. Wrap a solid thread base over rear third of hook shank
3. Remove Canadian Brown yarn from the yarn thread cores
4. Blend yarn with flash dubbing, if desired. I use Arizona Simi
Seal Canadian Brown.
5. Trap Canadian Brown yarn, used like dubbing, in a dubbing loop.
Twist loop tightly.
6. Wrap yarn in dubbing loop in tight wraps over the lead and middle
third of hook shank, tie off. Sweep back the yarn each wind to keep it
from being trapped under the next wind.
7. Spread pheasant rump feather so barbs are 90 degrees to quill.
8. Tie in tip of rump feather and wind 3-4 wraps until desired
density of barbs is reached.
9. Use 5-6 pieces of peacock sword directly above and directly below
the hook shank, and tie in. You can pick the pieces so that the
curves are like matched streamer feathers, for better appearance. The
fish don't care.
10. Tie in 5-6 strands of peacock herl directly in front of rump/sword
feather. Wind the herls around the thread, then wrap the head
densely, about the front fourth of the hook to behind the hook eye.
11. Wrap a red thread head and finish.
12. Pick out yarn fibers with a bodkin.
Ideally you want to be able to use the pheasant rump feather without
having to trim it to length, so pick your rump feather for barb
length. Rear ends of pheasant rump, peacock sword, and picked-out
yarn should end within 1-1/2 times the hook length.
Typically, I fish this with 4x tippet on an intermediate line.
