Here it is.. now you can see why I'd like to see someone with some skill tie one properly. It was a very good fly at last light - visible, small and took a few fish. Didn't last that long though..

It's one cdc feather on size 18, the centre barbs stripped out and the base barbs used as a hackle (and the top used as a tail) I was trying to get something simple, wafty and splatty - I assume it's caenis I'm trying to emulate.

Looks like it would make a nice suggestive olive dun/emerger perhaps?
