tails,two fibres from a paint brush
wing,short fine brown deer hair
body,brown orvis turkey biots
thorax,chocolate dubbing from jan siman.
thread,uni 8/0 camel.
hook,kamasan b402 size 14

How does it float? I find paintbrush tails don't provide enough floatation for the hook bend on dries. So even if you get the comparadun wing right at the front with a nice 180 degree fan and good balance, if the hook bend sinks you've lost the effect entirely.
