For a fly this size, you could use ultra chenille or one of those pre-made extended bodies, but for the bigger stuff like skwalas, goldens or salmonflies, the chenille wouldn't be big enough and these are kinda fun to make so why not? Just have to find the right platform for the plus size stones.

 

hook - Dai Riki 135 #16

thread/rib - UTC 70 hopper yellow

abdomen - extended body (DIY used here)

thread

GE Bath and Tub silicone

Congo Hair pale yellow

Stalcup Microfine Dubbing pale yellow

wing - deer hair bleached

hackle - light ginger

 

There's a few different ways to make the body; here's one that's worked pretty well for me

 

place needle in vise and coat with wax (Mucilin used here)

start thread

tie in some Congo Hair strands (or whatever synth yarn you care to use); keep it sparse

cover with thread and trim

insert needle into a tube of silicone and coat

pull out some dubbing (longer-fibered synth stuff works best for me), let it touch needle and start rotating to create body; if you don't have a rotary vise, a variable speed drill works fine

slide it off the needle, roll between fingers and trim

mash down barb, attach thread

lay body on top of hook (extend gap width past bend), tie in

clean, stack a clump of deer hair, tie in (tips even with body)

wrap forward to eye to create thorax; holding deer hair up, take a few wraps in front

tie in hackle; wrap forward to eye, tie off, trim, half hitch x 2 and SHHAN

trim deer hair butts, trim out hackle underneath
