Hook- Mustad C49S #24
Thread- Black 8/0
Underwing and Body Extension- Butt section of CDC Oiler Puff, Light Dun
Top Wing- CDC Fibers, Black or Dark Dun
Keep tie in point very centralized on the hook shank. Trim the fly as needed after tying, but leave the central connection at the base of the oiler puff to keep the rear of the body quite condensed.
This very delicate fly works very well with extremely light tippet on smooth, flat water. Unfortunately the flies are not very durable and it takes some work to revitalize them after catching a fish. Or bringing them back I highly recommend using an Amadou sheet to gently squeeze the light materials.
