Instructions:

Note:  I love the look and action that cross-cut fur wrapping gives to Pike/Bass flies but the hair length of the commonly used rabbit fur makes it unsuitable for smaller flies.  I found that Pine squirrel fur is just the right length for size 8 to 12 streamers.  It is not available, as far as I know, in crosscut strips so you have to make your own.  

 

This is by far my most productive streamer pattern and has saved many a day.
