Step 2: Tie in a white bunny strip near the back of Tube.
Step 3: Fold white bunny strip back and wrap over the end of the fold preparing it to be wraped around the tube.
Step 4: Wrap white bunny strip just past the half way mark of the tube and tie it in.

Step 10: Tie in a small amount of Angle Hair to add Flash in the water.
Step 11: Tie in a pinky thickness size patch of deer body hair. Make sure the tips are even and place the tips facing the back of the tube fly. This will provide a collar on the tube fly.
Step 12: Add additional deer body hair evenly around the tube to form the head. At the front of the tube make your final addition of deer hair and tie off the thread. Now all you need to do is form the head. A sharp pair of All Purpose Dr Slick Scissors or Razor Blade will aid in forming the head.
