How to tie the Flux Capacitor

Step 1: Start

Secure your hook into vise and start your thread

Step 2: Wrap

Lay down consecutive wraps along the hook shank working your way to hook bend and back up towards the eye

Step 3: Wire

Tie in XS silver Uni wire working your way back to the bend of the hook. This will incorporate the wire into the body shape and stream line it. Wrap thread towards hook eye stopping at the 2/3rds mark.

Step 4: Ribbing

Wrap wire forward to where your thread stopped leaving space between wraps to create body segmentation and tie in

Step 5: Wing case

Select a single strand of flash and tie it in

Step 6: Head

Build a head with thread wraps tapering and stopping just behind the eye of the hook.

Step 7: Casing

Lay the flash casing over the top of your thread wraps and tie in behind the eye and trim off excess flash

Step 8: Finish

Whip finish and add UV cure all over the fly itself in a thin coating

Step 9: Repeat

You are going to want a lot of these so get back to the vise and repeat steps!
