Thread: Olive uni thread
Tail: Caddis Tan water silk mixed with wood duck flank fibers
Abdomen: Pale morning dun poly dubbing (flyrite) rope dubbed to give segmented effect

Note: This pattern is a result of effectiveness of the hatching Mayfly with the claret thorax and as become one of my most affective flies these seasons.
