Tying Instructions:
Before attaching your thread make sure to wrap on your lead. The amount of lead you use depends on how heavy you want the fly. I fish swift streams so I usually put two rows of lead on on the shank of my flies. Now attach your thread. Now about 2/3 of the way up the fly, from the tail, you want to put your legs. Use 3 strips of rubber legs about one and half times as long as the hook shank. Attach these in the same general location, but not in the same spot. Attach them using figure 8 wraps around them. Now cut out a good amount of marabou for the tail. The tail on the fly should be slightly shorter than the hook shank. Attach all the tail contents. Now attach your chenille in the same place as the tail. Attach one strip of yellow saddle hackle in the same location. Wrap your thread to the eye of the hook. Now wrap your chenille forward to just behind the eye of the hook and tie it down. Then wrap the saddle hackle to the same spot and tie it down. Tie off for your finished fly.

Fly Information:
If you have yellow thread then use it on these flies. Most people don't have yellow thread, so if now you can use black. This fly is kind of a cross between the girdle bug and the wooly bugger. The difference is it is all yellow. This is a great fly to use in the spring or other times when the rivers are very muddy. You can see this fly from a mile away. Strip it in at a faily rapid pace and be ready for a hit at any time. In rivers it is best to fish this streamer and any other as close as you can get them to any logs or overhanging banks in a river. Anyplace a trout my be resting in hiding. The fly in the picture also has a big gold eye attached to the front. I use this mostly to add more weight to the fly because I fish some very swift streams. The tail in the pic is also a little long, it should be a little shorter than the hook shank.
