ALVIN DEDEAUX: All right. Now we're going to attach the wire ribbing, pull out and just
make sure I have enough. And I'll use my wire cutters; don't use your scissors because cutting
the wire with your scissors will mess them up pretty quick. Okay, I'm just going to put
that down, because I'll start back at the bend of the hook. I want this wire to start
from the very back of the fly. So I'm just going to lay that down parallel, almost all
the way to the front of the hook, and then I'm just going to trap it here, right near
the tail, and then just wrap that thread forward. And I'm sort of kind of building up a little
bit of a tapered body, you know, starting thin here and getting fatter as I move towards
the point of the eye of the hook. So I'll go ahead and make a couple of wraps up here,
really lock that down well, and then just bring it back, back to right where I tied
my tail in because everything starts back here at the back of the hook. Okay, so I've
got my wire ribbing attached, and I'm going to spin my hook again, get my thread out of
the way, and I'm ready for the next step.
