HORSE HAIR BEETLE 3/8
HOOK: KAMASAN B401, size 10 � 14 THREAD: Black BODY: Fiery brown angora dubbing LEGS: Horse tail hair, kinked with a hot dubbing needle SHELLBACK: Black closed cell foam HEAD: Butt from shellback
General beetle pattern, good around flooded lake margins. NOTE: A white dot painted on the back makes it easier to keep track of this fly.
The fly is tied by tying in the foam, protruduing out the rear, then 3 horse hairs are tied in with fig 8 wraps. The body is then dubbed, and the foam pulled over and tied off, either at the eye or down the shank a bit to give a head. The horse hair can be kinked into egs and feet by heating up a dubbing needle, and touching the hair. It pays to experiment here! Happy tying>
