Hook: Thread: Tail: Body: Rib: Legs: Thorax: Sheellback: Antenna:

These are tied on a size 6 Tiemco 3769, a standard 2x heavy wet fly hook, would probably also work on a curved shank hook. I'll probably tie the next batch on a size 8, depending on location, is often tied in smaller sizes (to 14). I use tan or pale green, don't see much of it. Pheasant tail. (or a "v" of brown biot) Holographic silver mylar tinsel Fine gold wire (or gold oval french tinsel, copper wire, etc) Sili legs (these are pumpkin/black) Dubbing or peacock herl A piece or two of tinsel and several flashabou, or turkey quill, etc (optional) Sili legs"I wrap these on fairly bulkily, try to keep out of the way of eye, tie off, apply head cement, and then place the bead wide opening toward hook eye, and slip over antenna tiein. Then I tie tail in, tinsel, and wire, and wrap a smooth slim thread body, then tinsel and rib, leaving room for thorax.
