How do I make a Melted Glue Pupa

Instructions and pictures courtesy of tob1

Gammarus (shrimp) fly
Seal Fur, Melted glue
Hook TMC 2457 #8

First I make the fly.
Then I warm up the end off a glue rod with a lighter.

I place the glue rod near the hook eye and go slowly backward.

Then I wet my fingers with my tongue and form the body.

Body :Sparkle yarn, seal fur, CDC puff , melted glue.
