Roy, that takes minimalism to a new level. lol. Does that pattern normally cover the whole shank or just the upper third, like in the photo?

Hi, pspaint,
the fly is in fact derived from Oliver Kite's bare hook nymph, which he would use as a simple bare hook- until he was informed that an undressed hook was illegal as it was not a fly.
Major Kite thereafter used to tie in a turn of thread for purposes of legality.
The fly can be dressed to suit the occasion, useful ties imitate mayfly nymphs and emergers; scuds; caddis, dry mayflies... etc
All depends on how you apply the materials.
You decide on the profile of the fly and make it to suit the hatch at hand.
Here is a link to some insider info... [url=http://www.sexyloops.com/articles/troutflydesign1.shtml:e146e]http://www.sexyloops.com/articles/troutflydesign1.shtml[/url:e146e]
