Fly Tying: Junkyard Dog

The junkyard dog is one of my favorite streamer patterns, it is really fun to tie and is very effective to fish. I have a medium-fast action 5 wt and it can throw this fly with no problems even with the added weight which makes it a versatile fly as well.

If you'd like to see the original, here is a link to Mike's blog:

I haven't tied any double hook streamers, I'm going to try this one. Great video as always, thanks Skyler.

How would I tie in a wiggle tail? Would I just ommit that backmost peice of maribou?
