Not a whole lot of info on this fly and I didn't have one to dissect/reverse engineer, so I made a few modifications; lots of parts, lots of steps, nothing complicated, nothing hard. The twisted yarn body (see Chuck's Caddis Variant), provides a cool segmented effect. Tied here in salmonfly; change colors/sizes to meet your plecopteraic needs.



hook - Tiemco 200 #4 (I know)

thread - UTC 140 burnt orange

tail - Krystal Flash black

body - poly yarn orange

overbody - 2mm foam black

underwing - Congo Hair dark grey

overunderwing - Krystal Flash pearl

wing pad - 2mm foam black

legs - medium rubber barred orange

thorax - Ice Dub peacock black

wing - elk hair

indicator - foam orange
