materials

Clean,stack a bunch of Elk hair. The amount is a personal thing. It's a tactical thing. The amount is based on the feel of the clump. I know, how Zen, but really, it's not a matter of a bunch the size of a pencil or the hook gap. You can use those criteria as a start but once you get going the amount will be based on how it feels in your finger tips.
Measure the wing to the bend or a bit short of the bend. I prefer it on the shorter side.
