You will need the following materials ...darichards.<br />You will need the following materials to tie the Aftermath. Curved shank hook (scud or shrimp hook) size 10 is what I use here. Brown vernille for the tail, two strands of peacock herl, fluro chartreuse chenille for the body, partridge feather, and dumbbell eyes. Secure your dumbbell eyes with black thread just behind hook eye. Use figure 8 wraps to secure it well. Advance thread back to the apex of the curve of the hook and tie in worm tail. Tie in one strand of peacock herl on top and one on bottom to be pulled over body later. Tie in chenille and wrap to dumbbell eyes. Pull both strands over the body one of top one on bottom and tie off. Prepare the partridge feather like you would for a soft hackle pattern. Tie in my tip and then fold the fibers by wetting them. About 1 1/2 wraps and tie off thread and your through. Look at some of the pictures of the Aftermath and you'll see how to do it.

Ive taken up fly fishing for carp up here in NE OK and would love to try it out. Thanks for your blog.
