Pretty much a parachute Stimulator; stonefly, caddis, hopper, attractor, whatever. Tied here as a Yellow Sally; the foam butt is my contribution (you're welcome).
hook - Dai Riki 280 #14
thread - Uni 8/0 Lt. Cahill
butt - 2mm foam red
shuck/legs/tail(?) - Krystal Flash pearl
rib - tying thread
abdomen - dubbing yellow
body hackle - grizzly
wing - bleached elk
thorax - dubbing yellow
post - Congo Hair white
hackle - grizzly
Part 1
mash barb and attach thread at 66% mark; leave the tag end long for the rib

original pattern called for calf body post, tied in at start; calf body leaves a pretty big bump which caused me problems later on and the post also interfered with later tying steps (especially the wing), so I scrapped that sequence and added the post after the elk wing was tied in
tie in a 2mm x 2mm strip of foam and wrap back to point above the barb; fold foam leaving an extended butt

dub thread; dub body

tie in hackle; original pattern calls for hackle to be trimmed short, I just undersize by 2 (this is hackle for an #18 hook)

wrap hackle back to bend (I like it pretty dense); capture hackle with tag end of thread and rib through hackle to front of abdomen; tie off/trim rib
