After you put the cone head on, tie in the red Krystal Flash tail.
Then tie on five strands of root beer Krystal hair and a section of gold wire.
Spin the Krystal hair and wrap it around the body almost to the bead head.
Rib with the gold wire up to the bead head also.
Tie in the Flashabou combination wing and add a small amount of red saddle hackle in front of it at the base of the cone head.
Tie this off well and cement it behind the cone head.
Push the cone head back over the cemented area tight.
Finish off by wrapping thread at the hook eye at the front of the cone head.
Cement and you're done.
