Pat, Are you spinning the wool in a dubbing loop? If so, load the loop _very_sparsely. Spinning the loop will compact the wool. Stroke the wool to the rear with each wind around the shank, comb or brush the wool before trimming it. This will give you an even distribution of wool for the head.
The body of this fly is spun sculpin wool, and the technique used is the same as i described. (DSCN3371 & 72) http://www.danica.com/flytier/ttrexler2/ttrexler2.htm Let me know if this helps.

They will catch fish, but most fisherman would refuse to take or maybe just give it a small nibble. I like to be able to catch both, plus I believe if I can tie these woolheads better I would get more fish to take it. Any woolhead masters out there want to give me a few pointers? Thanks, Pat Eller
