Normand,
I did locate that link but where did you get the material lists? also I was looking for the step-by-step instruction.
I think you just change links on me...lol

i got the material list by looking at the fly (almost 30 years tying flies can do that )
i changed the link because the umpqua had colors listed and you can see the materials better
i couldnt find a step by step but it shouldnt be any harder the tying a stonefly nymph
tying tip - stonefly bodies are 50% thorax & 50% body
step by step
put bead on hook
weight hook if you want it heavier
tie in tails
tie in wire rib
tie in peacock herls
dub thread with ice dubbing and wrap forward to the 50% point of the flies body
pull herls forward and tie down with thread
rib body with wire
trim turkey feather slip to wing case shape and tie in on top
tie in legs on each side
dub thorax
repeat for the next 2 segments of the thorax

To be fair, pretty sure Popperfly asked for the recipe, not a wild guess...
A closer examination of the profile shots on Leland's site make me think that the abdomen of this fly is woven like a Bitch Creek Stonefly, although what material is used, I'm not quite sure. Underbody could be Krystal Chenille and the overbody could be a a dubbing brush of something like Arizona Synthetic Peacock, but do not know for sure. Tail, and legs are goose biots, wingcase is turkey, and thorax is Ice Dubbing as Normand stated, but this is an interesting enough pattern that I hope some can chime in with the real recipe.
What I like about this board is how we treat each other in such a civil manner. Right?
