This fly floats like a cork and is easy to see from a distance or in rough water. Each of the clipped deer hair fibers is a different reflection facet (like a mirrored disco ball). It works well as a sedge (motorboat caddis), shines as the top of a dropper setup, and all 'round caddis imitation. A good imitation, in large sizes, of the October caddis (dicosmoecus).
FLY RECIPE:
HOOK: TFS 100, sizes 8-14
THREAD: Ultra 70 Tying Thread, color of choice
BODY: Elk Body Hair - spun, packed and clipped to shape
ANTENNAE: Stripped Hackle Quills
HACKLE: Dry Fly Hackle, brown
