Thread- Rumpf prewaxed White 8/0
Tail & wing flash- Polar Flash #2002 or similar blue hue flash
Wing- White Bucktail, Blue Bucktail, 2-3 peacock herl
Body- White polydub, Medium smooth silver tinsel
Instructions:
Clamp the eye of one hook in your vise of in a pair of needlenose and gently bend the eye of the trailing hook up to about a 30 to 40 degree angle.
Measure out about 3 – 3.5 inches of wire and snip with wirecutters. Feed wire in through trailing hook until it reaches just ahead of bend.
Cover wire on top with many wraps of thread.
Measure and tie in a polar flash tail.
Whip finish.
With thin CA or superglue lightly cover wire up to and including the hook eye, let dry thoroughly.
Start thread again and bring to rear of the hook , just ahead of tail. Tie in about 4 inches of white poly dub and silver tinsel. bring thread to eye. Wrap forward and bind in polydub then open spiral tinsel forward.
Whip finish.
Put leading hook into vise. Measure wire length and cut so that wire will end about 1/8 inch behind eye. With Trailing tandem held straight up and behind wrap many times, the entire length of wire.
Put extra wraps ahead of wire to make a smooth transition – ramp from wire to hook shaft.
Whip finish.
With thin CA or superglue lightly cover wire, let dry thoroughly.
Re-start thread and wind to rear of leading hook. Bind in 4″ of polydub, and 3″ silver tinsel. Wind thread forward to 1/8″ or a little more behind eye. In smooth even wraps cover hook with polydub, then loose spiral tinsel and lock in place.
Next add in a sparse bunch of white bucktail that will extend to or just past trailing hook.

Lightly coat with thin head cement.
Bind in sparse bunch of blue bucktail, then top with peacock herl.
Continue wrapping until a smooth even head is formed whip finish with 5 twists. and head cement.
Paint head with white enamel, dry, then paint on red dot on each side (eyes).
Cast or troll this incredible fly for salmon or trout. Bass have also shown plenty of interest in this fly. We have found this fly to be especially effective in Segago Lake here in Windham Maine where the smelts seem to have a slight purple or blue tinge in their color. Will most likely do well in any body of water where game fish are hunting for Smelts.
