- Wrap thread forward to eye of hook, and tie in black plastic eyes. This is done by criss crossing back and forth over the middle of the eyes, in a figure eight motion until the eyes are locked in place.
- Tie in marabou at hook bend for tail. Don't trim the butts, they will be used to form body.
- Tie in fine gold ribbing.
- Wrap marabou forward, 3/4 the way up the hook shank, and tie off with thread, but still do not trim butts.
- Wrap ribbing over the body and secure with thread, and trim.
- Tie in olive pheasant with tips facing back over the body.
- Tie in a clump of pheasant on either side for legs.
- Make a few more wraps with marabou until you reach the eyes. By now the marabou should be getting more bushy and should create a thorax slightly thicker than the body.
- Pull pheasant laying over body forward for wingcase. Tie in with thread, whip finish, and head cement.
