How to tie it
Mount the hook and lay a thin thread base.
Bind a foam cylinder along the top so the rear segment overhangs the bend and the front reaches the eye, cinching once at mid-shank to define two segments.
Tie a barred rubber leg by its midpoint on each side at the waist.
Tie in one or two CDC feathers and take a couple of turns to build a soft, buggy thorax collar. The CDC is the upgrade that adds movement and float.
Wrap a hackle through the thorax over the CDC, 3-4 turns, and secure.
Add a small hi-vis poly tuft on top for visibility, whip finish, and trim the legs.
Touch the wraps with flexible cement.
