I think spiders are very versatile. Most of the time if I'm not using a bait fish it's some type of spider.

Stocked up my supply of floating dragon fly nymphs this AM
Hook: Daiichi 1720 #6 or other 3 or 4X shank hook
Tail: Olive marabou tied short but thick
Body: Deer hair- this one is stacked light olive on the bottom and olive and brown alternating on the top. Spun olive seems to work just fine and is faster and easier to tie.
Legs: black barred olive silicone
Eyes: 3/16 or 1/4 black or olive foan cylinder.
Head: Olive hairs ear or other dubbing

That fly doesn't look well used enough yet for that name, maybe after 20 or so trout.
