One of the classic patterns. This Devaux style Coq de Leon Mayfly creates a very attractive footprint or silhouette and floats extremely well.
I use this style of fly when fishing the larger mayfly hatches for Danica and Vulgate.
With this technique I demonstrate a few very interesting tricks for the wing, tail and rib.
