Poke in hook
Predatory fish attack their prey "near the center of gravity"
(T.E. Reimchen on "Evolutionary attributes of headfirst prey manipulation and swallowing in piscivores")
In other words the best place to put the hook is in the middle of the fly,
not at the end and not at the head.
Poke two or three holes in the fur strip with a bodkin needle. Then thread in the hook.
