I've had a few requests on how to tie this fly.
The originator is my good friend, Mike Laskowski of Titusville, PA. (Oil Creek Outfitters)
It was featured about a year ago in Flyfishing and Tying Journal.
It's tied reverse style.
 
EXPIRED!

Whip finish, cut the thread and cement at the base.

 


 
.

 
 
If the fly is too long, you can tear the back end to length. Tearing will give the fly a tapered look as opposed to cutting.
 
 
 

I probably should have posted this in the tutorial section.
Or at least in the fly tying section where it belongs.
Mr Moderator can move??

dano, thanx big time. i tied about ten last night but didn't split the middle section, just tied it on top of the top section before folding over. i didn't add flash either. i'll be sure to tie some tonight with your instuctions. ~dt

Really nice, Dano. 
 
question - After sliding the polar fibers up into the cone, do they stay in place forever, or do they slide down the shank after fishing for a while?

Good stuff, man. Thank you for the Tute', I'll definitely be giving this one a try!

Have you tried it with any larger/smaller sizes? How about natural materials like arctic fox?

d-nymph, i hit the thread wrap with hard-as-nails before sliding it under the cone. i'm sure zap-a-gap will work also

D-Nymph, DT,
It will stay there forever. It's nearly impossible to pull the base back out. I tried it once and couldn't do it.

I see.  So you slide it up before the glue sets, then it sets in place inside the cone?
 
 
I bet that'd make a killer smallmouth fly a size or two larger.

very nicely done!

Awesome.

I was way off. I wasted a whole strip of white Polar Fiber failing. The pushing at the end is definitely the key. When I get some more fiber I will give it another try. Awesome tie man and thanks a million!
