PULL WING CASE FORWARD AND TIE-OFF
FOR NYMPHS


1. Grasp wingcase with right hand.
2. Pull forward between any hackle or legs depending on the fly. On some flies, you may want to trim hackle on top as with a Montana stone, march brown, if you have palmered a hackle across thorax.
3. Hold wingcase with good tension as you make a loose wrap of thread.
4. Notice how wingcase is still straight forward. You may want to angle it toward you a little so that when we tighten thread, thread torque doesn't pull case material to far side of shank.
5. Tighten thread. Let the thread pressure bring the wingcase material down to the hook shank, this keeps material in a neat bundle on top of shank. Maintain thread tension and add 4 or 5 more wraps.
6. Cut excess wingcase close to thread wraps.If you cut your thread, don't cuss me, I just work here!

You are now ready to Whip Finish.
