Ron, Jay, Kent, et al.-
The Daphnia Cluster pattern was originated by Larry Tullis, who has an
article titled Discovering Daphnia in the September 2001 issue of Fly
Fisherman magazine.
Here is the link to a variation on Larry's pattern by John
Larson:
I've been intending to tie some since discovering them last year, but
have never gotten around to it. Maybe this thread will
finally push me into doing it.

Jay,
Randall Kauffman's book 'Lake Fishing with a Fly'
states that daphnia
migrate daily from the bottom to the film in
response to sunlight.
Individuals are much too small to imitate so tying
clusters seems to
be the best way, much as a Griffith's gnat imitates
clusters of
midges on the surface.
I've been told that
unweighted, no-tail and sparsely-tied 'micro
leeches' with loose mohair,
goat or SLF tendrils can work well as
daphnia cluster imitations. I have
not tried these yet but watched a
guy wade fishing Lenice a couple weeks
ago put on a clinic with this
pattern. He had 'em in various colors but
said that olive worked best
that day.
Here's a link to a weird
daphnia pattern from the UK I Googled up this morning:
