I really like these Stone fly patterns. We used to fish a similar fly on the Deschutes with good results.

The "wing" is a combination of hackle and CDC.
The abdomen is ostrich and CDL stems.
Been experimenting with the materials for
the abdomen and try to get some interesting effects.
Same thing with the "wing". I like how Hans's CDC/Elk presents in the water.

When mysis shrimp are alive they are are almost pure white which is what I was going for here.
The tail as well as the insert in the abdomen is the whitest Boars Hair that I have. The antennae is made of the same material.
As the mysis die they start to turn a more blonde color. Anyone who has fished the Taylor or the Blue will tell you that when the
mysis are released from the bottom of the dam they are almost pure white so much so that it looks like frost.
As they get further down the stream and die they change color a bit.
To tell you the truth I don't think the fish care.
Just another bit of minutiae that fly tyers use to differentiate their flies from other individuals.
