Hi, anybody know how to tie this fly?

The thorax and wing look straight forward, but I'm not sure how to do the extended body. What material is it? / How do you make it? Thanks.

Neat site, Normand. I saw him tie this fly a few years ago at College Park Fly Show. Took a piece of E-Z Dub, frayed the end with bodkin (applied a small amount of head cement at that point), tied it to the hook and then added wing and hackle. Pretty simple.

cool so its just dubbing, thanks.
Here is a sample of an extended body that i seen posted on another site by a superb Rumanian Fly Dresser Lucian Vasies.
This is my first attempt at this, hope you find it interesting.

anmaidreuisce, that fly looks cool. What did you use to bind it together... dubbing wax, some kind of glue?? Thanks.
You can also get generally the same effect with twisted kip tail glued at the smallest point of the twist (before the flare).
Here's a link to another approach to extended bodies.
