A very interesting pattern that puts deer hair to good use for both the body and the wing post.
Often used on a # 6 XL hook for the great Hex hatch, but tied on smaller sizes it works well for most mayflies as with this # 12 yellow may here.

It seems like a fairly different fly pattern to tie but certainly worth it at the end.
