Tie on your wire thread. Wrap half way back LEAVE YOUR TAG LONG AT LEAST 6"s

Make a loop with your tag end and wrap back to the barb.

wrap back up half way

Tie in your mylar on the way down.

Give the whole body a coat of sally or super glue.

dub your wire thread. Dub it rather tight. It will make it much easier to wrap on.

Wrap your body, form a nice shape.

Pull the mylar over the top. and tie down with two wraps. Dont cut yet. Twist your wire loop.
![102_0950.jpg](http://i1237.photobucket.com/albums/ff467/stoaks320/fly%20tutorials/102_0950.jpg)
Rib your body. When you rib over pull it straight down so you dont move the mylar. Tie it off and trim the mylar away.

Tie it off, you can whip or half hitch. Then give the head a good coat of sally or favorite head cement.

Take some Velcro and ruff the sides and belly of the fly. I like to trim the dubbin so it's even with the point. All done.

A simple and effective pattern. (not the pretteist, but its still deadly)
