I've read about this fly before, and the description then called for a special floss for the body in order to keep a bright color when wet. Sure enough, my run-of-the-mill yellow floss fades and allows the hook color to come through when wet. Many may scoff at this, but I compensated by painting the hook yellow in that section, wrapping the floss over that, and am pleased with the results.
