*(Not sure the Exact Recipe For Egans Original)
Wrap a base of thread to the bend of the hook. Tie in 4-5 Cdl fibers for the tail. Move your thread to the bead with wide wraps.
Tie in 4 fibers of pheasant tail tips first in at the bead with the stems facing towards the point of the hook. Secure size small red wire to the hook at the same time. Using your thread wrap over the pheasant tail and wire until you reach the base of the tail.
In wide wraps more your thread to the bead before wrapping the pheasant tail up to the bead. Secure pheasant tail tight to the bead.
Counter wrap the wire ribbing up to the bead.
I like to use florescent orange and florescent pink as my collar on the fly. I am unsure of Lance Egan's original recipe. I dub my collars sparse.
