The Electric Deceiver
by Al Quattrocchi
STEP 1:
Begin by tying in a small clump of bucktail at the bend of the hook. Pinch
the material between your fingers and by using the tension of the thread
alow the bucktail to wrap completely around the shank. Add a few strands of
pearl flashabou over the top and repeat one more time tapering the bucktail
as you move forward.
STEP 2:
Cut a peice of large diameter mylar tubing, remove rope core and measure up
against the fly. Tie in at the middle of the material. Allow for extra
material which we will flare out and fold back.
STEP 3:
Lay first peice of mylar tubing into position, tie down, flare out the front
section.
STEP 4:
Bring thread to front of material, fold back and tie down.
STEP 5:
Repeat steps 2,3 and 4 until you reach the eye of the hook. Make sure you
vary the lengths of mylar as you move forward. They should gradually get
smaller to acheive a tapered profile.
STEP 6:
Trim the fly by getting rid of any loose ends.
STEP 7:
Finish the fly by adding color and eyes which will bring the pattern to
life.
