Easy Tie! (But READ the directions!)
Simple and easy pattern, BUT the directions could be better. At the end of Step 7, whip finish and cut off in preparation for Step 8.
Two suggestions. First, MEASURE your body lengths in order to make sure you've enough tubing to complete 6 flies! The second is, if you have Black OR (Peacock) and Red Lazer Dub, consider tying a 'regular' minnow.. with either of the first colors on top, and the Red tied in as 'gills' on the bottom.
Whatever you decide to tie, I'd suggest adding a small drop of CLEAR UV resin on the top, bottom, and both sides where the head butts up against the materials.Then finish off with a light coat to protect the eyes and head.
