Bill - Did you wrap the silk body with a second bobbin, or by hand? I’m trying to figure out the tying sequence.
Handsome pattern.

Nice one, Bill. Nice and sparse. Very good looking pattern that I will be copying.

RAy,
I used a second bobbin for the silk!
I tied the black thread in at the head, then wrapped over the floss from the thorax to the tail.
Next, I tied in the wire and silk from the thorax to the tail.
Then I moved the black up to the thorax and completed the body.
The dubbed thorax was added and then the hackle.

Beautiful pattern Bill! It just has to catch a trout or two!
