Kwan pattern
This is the original Dorsey's Kwan aka the Kwan. Tied on a #4 3407. Craft fur tail. Orange Egg sack material. Dark brown and tan sparkle yarn body. Bead chain eyes. This is how I tie this fly commercially and you can find it at New Smyrna Outfitters.
First tie on the tail and egg sack.
Next tie on the yarn using figure 8 wraps.
Last the eyes. Then trim the yarn to shape, use your bodkin to tease out the fibers in the yarn, then re-trim to clean it up.
Here is another version tied on a #2 hook with lead eyes. The body is palmered EP shrimp dub brush.
