Another great pattern with a simple tool. If you enjoyed the detached body crane fly you’ll love this mayfly. Heres the full video on how to prepare the material and weld the body. Followed by the full tying sequence for the mayfly dry fly. These detached bodies are not only super realistic but they also float like a cork and are almost bullet proof. Heres a link to the extended body tool: Hook: Mustad Heritage C49XSAP # 10 Tying thread: Sheer grey 14/0 Body: Vinyl surgical glove strip & Foam Tails: Olive Fibbets Hackle: Silver badger variant Wings: 2 Large select CDC hackles
