How to Attach the Second Bucktail for Fly Fishing

Video Transcript

"ALVIN DEDEUX: Because I got my chartreuse bucktail for the top of my fly. I've flipped my hook over. I'm ready to attach this. And what I finished before, I was behind the eye. So I need to take my thread, bring it back up here in front of the eye because I'm going to tie this piece on in front of the eye. The last piece tied on front of the eye and was actually tied on behind it but on the top, I'm not going to do that. I'm just going to tie it in front. So, I'm going to lay it there, try to get those tips up near the eye of the hook but not right at the eye of the hook. You want to have them back a little bit so as you can sort of taper that head and I just kinda pinch it between my finger to hold it on place while I wrap that down. Okay. You really want to put some tension on this to make sure those hairs don't pull out that's why I'm using this heavy thread and see I'm really kinda cranking that down. Now, you've got the top layer of hair, the top bucktail attached to my fly, almost done."
