I tied on an orange spotter. Easier to see in rough water.




Trim to the body size you want. Curved scissors or a blade work great.





Place the fly back in the vice and tie on your thread back at the eye of the hook. Palmer your brown hackle towards the eye. Tie it down with 1 thread wrap. Palmer the second hackle over the first. Tie off and whip finish.




Enjoy.
Oooh... i know some coastal cutties that would eat that...
