Duck on a Hook is a David Reverdito take on the Chook on a Hook GT fly. Tie some up and chuck the duck at some VW Geets and hang on.<\/p>\n

Recipe<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hook: \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Gamakatsu SL12S #6\/0 or 8\/0<\/p>\n

Tail: \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 8 Schlappen feathers<\/p>\n

Flash: \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Crystal Flash – same colour as the feathers<\/p>\n

Head: \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sheep’s wool<\/p>\n

Eyes: \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Stick on<\/p>\n

Step 1.<\/strong> Tie on the thread and bind down the 8 Schlappen feathers – I don’t get too fussed about sorting them out, they end up aligning themselves OK.<\/p>\n

\"CH1\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 2.<\/strong> Tie on the Crystal flash – I use 4 strands that I fold and place half each side of the fly.<\/p>\n

\"CH2\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 3.<\/strong> Wrap some lead wire around the shank towards the head of the fly, and soak it with superglue.<\/p>\n

\"CH3\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 4.<\/strong> Tie in a clump of sheep’s wool with the cut end facing forward – leave yourself enough room for a small whip finish near the eye.<\/p>\n

\"CH4\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 5.<\/strong> Comb back the wool as per the picture below and whip finish the fly.<\/p>\n

\"CH5\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 6.<\/strong> Stick on the eyes – I use Zap-A-Dap-A-Goo II as that glues them well to the wool.<\/p>\n

\"CH6\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 7.<\/strong> Comb back the wool to give the head the shape you desire, and then I use Liquid Fusion to coat the eyes and the head for strength and durability.<\/p>\n

\"CH7\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 8.<\/strong> That’s it, you are done. If you want to you can trim the wool a bit once the glue has dried, but the fish don’t care…<\/p>\n
