Tying Instructions:
1. Build up a thread base, starting at the head and working down and
back.
 2. Secure the Diamond Braid behind the eye and lay it flat, parallel to the hook shank. Wrap the thread over the braid down to the bend and back to build up some bulk to give the body some profile. Begin wraping the braid around the shank in tight wraps up to the head.

3. Secure the Diamond Braid behind the eye.
 4. Cut a section of Arctic fox long enough to extend just past the bend. Remove and discard the short underfur. Secure the fox hair back slightly from the eye to allow room for the Guinea fowl and the head.
 5. Select a Guinea Fowl which has hackle fibers long enough to extend 3/4 of the body length of the fly. Prepare the feather by grabbing it's tip and force the hackle fibers back toward the stem. Secure the tip of the feather just in front of the fox hair. Wrap the Guinea Fowl very tightly (close together). With each wrap, be sure to stroke the hackles back so that your next wrap does not go over them.

6. Secure the Guinea Fowl hackle, shape the head and whip finish. A drop of head cement will allow the fly to catch a few fish before it needs to be retired - FINISHED!
