Wow, that's a cool fly. Makes you wonder if some shrink tubing would work. I haven't seen it in clear though.

I'm no expert on flies like this, but what if you invert the hook. The bend of the hook would give a bend in the body. This way you don't even need an extended body. The hook point is also less visible. Plus, with a parachute hackle, it makes the fly float very realistically on the water. By the way, that fly on the link looked awesome!!
