Next, secure the end of the gold tinsel. Now tie in 4-6 pieces of peacock. Palmer the hurl onto the hook . Tie off the hurl and tie off just on top of the lead . Now spiral the gold tinsel forward for the ribbing on the body. Tie in the tip of a brown wet fly hackle and make one to two spirals of the hackle. Next take 2 pieces of white stripped goose and tie them in just behind the bead for the wings, split these just as you did the tail. Lightly dub the thread over the wings. Whip finish.
