Here are some photo's & below is the pattern.

Modified Airhead

Hook = Dai-Riki #270 Size 12 3x long natural bend
Thread = White 6/0 waxed
Body = Hares ear dubbing Gold / Olive Hares
Wing = Deer Hair / Thin translucent packing foam
Head = Thin translucent packing foam bent back in bullet fashion

Instructions:

Wrap thread onto the hook back to the bend. Dub on a shaggy body leaving the
course hairs in 1/3 of the way up from the bend of the hook. Now tie in a
small pinch of deer hair for a wing just beyond the bend in the fashion of a
deer hair caddis & cut off the loose hairs sticking out. Cut two small
strips of foam aprox. 1/4 in. X 1 in. long. Now tie in one strip on the top
of the fly facing toward the eye of the hook. Now wrap your thread back and
tie a strip of foam on the bottom in the same way. Now fold both strips back
in a bullet fashion and whip finish. Now cut the top foam stip half way back
over the deer hair wing & cut it down the middle toward the front so that it
is like two wings. Now cut the bottom strip slightly shorter and into three
sections instead of two. Cut the middle strip almost all of the way off and
the two little outside strips 1/4 the size of the top strips.

I hope that makes sense, it is actually a very easy and quick fly to tie. I
will include a sequence later.

 That's it for now...
