- Glass Bead Installation - Take a length of white Superfloss and divide it in half; Install floss through hole in glass bead; Secure floss ends on top of hook shank behind bead head (making 7-10 firm wraps with thread, firmly pulling forward on floss tag ends allowing glass bead to position forward and helping to align properly; Make several more securing wraps with thread stretch floss.

- Tie in 2 sections of midge flash (one on each side); When tied in each section will create two legs per side; Cut to length; Trailing legs should be shorter than the front legs or approximately 2/3rd's the length of the hook shank; Take remaining peacock and make two more wraps behind bead head and whip finish.
