Lay down a black thread base
Tie in gold tinsel to hook bend; take three wraps of gold tinsel down hook bend and three wraps back to thread base
Tie in three or four fibers from scarlet hen hackle for tail
Tie in four or five peacock herls, twisted into a rope with a dubbing loop, and wrapped around the hook shank for the body; the thread in the rope makes the herl more durable; tie off and clip extra
