albannachxcuileag Posted October 1, 2007 Posted October 1, 2007 This is one of the first SBSs I ever did on another UK forum and I thought I would present it to you for the difference in tying as to the norm. Not being the most adept fly tyer and also buying the wrong CDC, I wondered how I could use it and after a few minutes at the vice came up with the idea of doing it all backwards! Materials:- Hook - Captain Hamilton International size 14 Thread - Fine black Body - Black Floss Thorax - Peacock Herl Rib - Fine Silver Wire Suspender - CDC Natural Puff Run your thread as normal and return to the eye area in open turns then tie in the CDC puff with the fibres facing the hook - just 2 turns Gently pull the CDC through the thread and then tighten turns and add an extra one for security Loop the CDC over and catch in the point over the existing threads Tie in the wire rib first Followed by the floss and then the peacock herl, wrapping the thread under the herl and down to the start of the thorax Form the thorax with the peacock herl and tie in Stand the rib wire up out of the way and run the thread to the end of the body followed by the floss to form the body, tapering to the hook bend, tie in the floss Wrap the rib evenly and secure before cutting or breaking off the excess then whip finish making an additional tapered end then coat body with SHHAN One finished Backwards CDC Suspender Buzzer!
