Step #4:

Take a clump of Hareline’s Finn Raccoon Zonker Strip that is roughly 3-4 inches long, and tie in centered and over the top of the pattern. Do not remove the guard hairs from the fur during this step. Take 3 individual strands of Flashabou and center tie them in on the top of the wing. Fold over the Flashabou and secure with several thread wraps. Try to keep all the lengths of the flash uneven. This is so the flash will taper and reflect at different lengths and just doesn’t come to a straight line.
