Tail: Three strands from wood duck flank feather

Body: Natural seal's fur ribbed with narrow oval gold tinsel

Thorax: First build up with some padding material such as cotton yarn or wool yarn. If the nymph is weighted, lead wire is used as a foundation. This is wrapped over a base of lacquered tying silk while still wet, and gone over again with tying silk after it is wound on. This extra procedure is to keep the wire base from twisting on the hook.

Wing cases: Two tiny eyes of the jungle cock feather

Hackle: Partridge
