Good tie but try polypropylene yarn, Web Wing, Para-Post, or even Puglisi EP Fibers instead of Superhair. I think you will prefer the results.

Ah, that makes a bit more sense. So how well does this pattern float? Superhair is pretty dense stuff and would not be my first choice for dry fly bodies.

Well I always wondered if it would float myself. Then last year I was fishing the lakes up at Delaney and I put on a boulder Caddis for a indicator and/or a top fly. then I put on a number 14 juju beatis and i was getting huge strikes on the top and they were hitting right behind the Caddis.. I got my line in and put the flies in the water and the juju beatis was floating and that's why they were hitting right behind the Caddis.. so that's when I knew that it would float,. The juju is a great callibaetis intimation.
