Instructions: Mop Fly




	1. Place the slotted bead onto the hook with the slot of the bead at the rear. There are two sides of the slot, a flat side and a round side. The round side of the slot should be above the hook shank.
	2. Attach the thread behind the bead and wrap behind the bead until the bead is stabilized with the rounded side remaining above the shank.
	3. Wrap a thick thread foundation behind the bead to the bend of the hook, wrapping back to behind the bead.
	4. Measure a piece of mop chenille. You want to extend the body less than a shank length behind the bend of the hook.
	5. Clipping off the segment of chenille, prepare the rear of the chenille with some zap-a-gap to keep the material from unravelling. You can squeeze the tip of the chenille to create a small taper.
	6. Next, apply some zap-a-gap to the thread foundation. This will help anchor the chenille to the top of the shank.
	7. Secure the piece of chenille behind the bead with thread wraps keeping the chenille on the top of the shank.
	8. Apply some ice dubbing to the thread.
	9. Wrap a dubbed collar behind the bead.
	10. Whip Finish.
