Mickey Finn
Tied by: Dick Pearce
Thread: White or cream for body, then black 6/0
Hook: 14 3x - 6x (for 6X make body shorter)
Body: Silver or gold tinsel or mylar (silver for clear, gold for brown water, mylar for floating higher in the water column
Wing: Yellow and red bucktail, mongo tail, marabou, or craft fur
Use only a small amount of material for each layer of the wing. Dampen the material and measure so that it comes just to the end or just beyond the bend. Pinch wrap and tie the material to the hook. Lift up the material, hold on to it, and take one turn around it before adding the next layer.
