1. Dress hook with thread
2. Dub rear portion of fly into an "ant shaped" sphere
3. Bring thread to a point 1/4 of the shank away from the eye
4. Sparsely dub the thread in an approximately 3" span
5. Position bobbin directly above the hook and maintain thread tension
6. Slide the dubbing down the thread to form a small ball/post on top of the shank
7. Figure eight wrap the thread in front and behind the ball/post
8. Prepare the post for the hackle by winding the thread around the post but on top of the shank
