Return thread to the eye and tie in body tinsel at this point.
Wind tinsel in overlapping turn along to the tail and back to the eye and tie of tinsel.
Wind rib to eye 4 or 5 turns and tie of (half hitch would be a good idea at this point).
Tie in hackle 2 to 3 turns towards the eye.
Pull hackle down into the beard position and tie in this position.
Using matching wing slips tie in wing and create a small head. All done.
