Take the tying thread down the hook shank to a point opposite the barb.

Catch in some small lengths of straight Olive Glister dubbing which creates a type of tail – roughly 1.5” past the end of the hook.

Dub the Olive Glister dubbing to the thread and start building a neat tapered body.

Once the body is almost complete, dub finely back down to a position opposite to the hook point.

Take a length of Olive Rabbit Strip and stroke the fur forward to create a clear view of the skin opposite the hook point position.

Secure the skin using a few wraps of thread and stroke the fur back over it.

Bend the rabbit skin back over the area just secured to give a clear view of the dubbed body.

Dub the Olive Glister dubbing again to the thread and move up towards the eye.

Catch in some Olive cock hackle fibres to create a beard.

Pull the rabbit skin forward and secure the front of the black rabbit skin with thread and build a neat head.

Whip finish and varnish.
