ALL MATERIALS LISTED IN ORDER OF TIE IN!

 

Daiichi 1760 no4, or Firehole Outdoors 523 #6 jig hook (3xl,1xg heavy hook),

Thread, Uni 6/0 or 8/0 rust brown or similar color and strength thread,

Burnt orange marabou tail,

Copper small wire rib,

Brown grizzly body hackle tied in by butt,

Then tie in brown body material, I use j- fair short or long shuck (rust or burnt orange), root beer small estaz or chenille would work too.

Tie in root beer eyes, then wrap body, palmer hackle forward, counter wind copper wire, then put in rubber legs at 45 degrees angling back against shank so two longer legs are down under eye and two shorter legs are up and back. THEN GO CATCH SOME FISH!!! 😎🐻l
