I tie in the eyes first...todays batch I used the plastic green dumbells. Then tie in a bunch of ostrich for the tail, wrap it half way up the hook or just behind the eyes. Tie in another bunch, and with the scud hook they do stick out when dry but wet it gives that wiggly motion that damsel nymphs do so well. tie off that clump behind the eyes then pull the stems from the second bunch over between the eyes. Tie off at eye of hook, then figure 8 the body ones around the eyes and tie off. Everytime I have used this fly it produces. I try it at the pond with a TYPE II wet cell and just about every cast. Then I tried it on a 9' leader with an indicator set at 7' on the Snake by Shelly, Idaho and 19" Small Mouth Bass.....I know, I didn't know there were Bronzebacks in there either, but I guess they are planting them all over because of the popularity. Easy to tie, I say try one.

I am using a #14 Mustad. Here it is with the plastic Green dumbbell eyes and wet..
