The Fly of May

White Matuka
May
and june are the time, when large schools of bleaks rise up to the rivers.
Big brown trouts love to eat these small fishes. With White Matuka it is possible
to imitate bleaks to these hungry trouts. Troutfishing this time of the
year is most effective late in the evening or early in the morning.

Base
the shank with thread. Fasten the oval silver tinsel. Tie the body with
silver flash chenille.

Take
two (or 4) cock or hen feathers. Strip them so, that the tail is the
length of the shank.

Fasten
the feathers in front of the body so, that the shiny backsides are
outwards.
Fasten
the wing and tail combination with the turns of ribbing.
Tie
red wool or feathers under the body to imitate gills.
Add
to the wing two to four strips pearly flashabou.
Tie
a nice collar front hackle with herls pointing a bit backwards
