This fly was shown to me by PWTU member Paul Grathwohl. Paul has had good success using this pattern for light colored mayflies on the Lackawaxen; particularly when the Grey Fox is on the water. When tying build up the underbody with yellow then dub a thin rough overbody. This creates a translucent halo effect when the fly is wet.

Tail : Lt. ginger and grizzly – mixed
Wing : Lt. deer hair – tied as a post
Underbody : Yellow tying thread
Overbody : Bleached Australian opossum
