This pattern is based off of the one and only(the man) A.K.
1: Tie in at the eye of the hook, wrap back 6-8 wraps
2: Measure parachute(length of the shank) tie in and wrap forward toward the eye (3-5 wraps). Hold the material upright, wrap in infront of the chute to make it stand up alittle then wrap the post upward.
3: Wrap the entire length back even with the barb and tie in the tail.
4: After soaking quills in water take it and determine the size it should be about the diameter of the hook point. tie the smallest part of the quill in and wrap up to the chute.
5: Wrap the quill forward and tie of just shy of the chute.
6: Take a small amount of dubbing and wrap up to the eye creating the head.
7: Tie in hackle, wrap the post and tie off at the head.
