That's awesome. I have a pretty nice stone-fly nymph that I stole from an Orvis Dealer.
Maybe some of these ingred. will help you: First I bend the hook downward in the vise(tends to make the fly go nose down when deep fishing making the antennee go back and keeping it from snagging so much) Tail - brown goose biot tied divided Body/abdomen - Braided needle point thread(2 strands of brown and one strand of yellow), braid it right over the hook Thorax - (weighted) heavely dubbed Australian opossum(dark brown) Legs - three pairs of brown goose biot each bent and heald with head cement Wing case - Cut a strip out of a surgical glove and dye it dark brown with a sharpie marker, divid it into 3 humps using dubbed thread Eyes - monofilament burnt on each end Antennee - Black peacock hurl Highly effective fly but damn time consuming to tie. I will send you a picture or post it once I get some new batteries for my digital camera.
