This fly comes from my imagination. I was looking for a really buggy
looking nymph that would work in a variety of situations. It can be tied
in various colors to meet your needs.
Clip a strand of antron of about 4 inches. Tie the tail in but don't
clip the excess. You will need this later. Add your dubbing to the
thread and dub a tapered body towards the bead.
Take the excess antron and twist it till you have a tightly wound
"rope". Wind the antron rope forward to create the ribbing of
the fly. Once you have reached the thorax tie off the antron rope, but
again don't clip. Take the remaining antron and pull it forward to
create a wing case and legs. Tie off near the bead. Whip finish.
Take your bodkin and pick at the antron near the thorax to make some of the
fibers flair out.
