8wt, here is mine that I came up with this year:

Here's the recipe:
Hook: DaiRiki 305 size #16, 14
Thread: clear mono
Tail/antennae: SAAP High Vis - White
Flashback: UTC Mirage Tinsel, opal - large
Thorax: Ice Dub ? pearl
Abdomen: UTC Mirage tinsel used for flashback over thorax wrapped down shank of hook to eye and trimmed. Continue wrapping with mono thread to make tapered body and tie off behind thorax. Pick out thorax and trim as shown. Black Sharpie for eyes. 2 coats of Sally Hansen?s Hard as Nails.
Best of luck,
Kelly.
Thanks for your input everyone.
