Start by wrapping thread to hook bend(1). Now cut a clump of Neer Hair about 1/4" thick( you'll probably need 3 or more of these clumps depending on the size of the fly, but only cut 1 at a time to cut down on waste). Measure the first piece a little longer than the overall length of the fly. So, if you want a 3" fly, make the hair 3 & 1/4 in. to allow for cutting.   Now tie it down with 5-6 tight wraps, each in front of the other(2).    Now fold the tag end back over itself and tie down with tight wraps, and bring the thread in front of the tie in point. Apply glue to thread(3).   Now trim the folded piece shorter than the tail(4). Tie in the next bunch shorter than the previous bunch using the same 5 wrap, fold over, tie down and trim method used on the last bunch(5,6).   Apply glue to these wraps and rotate the fly upside down. Tie in the next clump the same as above, shorter than the main piece. Fold over, tie down, and trim the tag end the same as above(7).   Now poke the hook point through the bunch that was just tied in(8). Remove the fly from the vise and finish pulling the fibers back over the hook(9). From here till the fly is finished is just repeating the above steps, making each bunch shorter than the one before it till you get to the hook eye(10,11,12,13,14).   When you finish the bunches on the top and bottom, tie in a short bunch on each side of the fly to cover the visible hook shank(15,16). Trim the tag ends and wrap a clean, tapered head and tie off the thread.   This is what the roughly finished fly looks like(17). Now comb out the fibers(18).  Now, trim with and against the fibers, ending up with a nicely tapered body(19,20,21).     Now apply stick on eyes on both sides of the fly, just behind the thread head(22). Either epoxy or silicone can be used to finish the fly. I'm using silicone for this fly(23).   Put a small bead of silicone on a Popsicle stick or something similar. Apply a little to each side of the head(24,25).  Wet your finger with either Photo-Flo or saliva and smooth the silicone over the head. Leave it to dry for a few minutes and apply a second coat. Here is what the finished product looks like(26,27).  By tying this fly in different lengths and sizes, this fly can be used effectively for many species.
