In sizes 8 to 16 and with the right moves it is very effective in fast waters, especially in the beginning of the seasons or when rivers are still high.
The pink or orange “hot spot” is important so trout can see it easily even in whitish waters. We have to remember that in the fastest waters where we think there are no trout, currents are slower and this holds big surprises. This fly sinks rapidly, it’s the best one for fast waters fished with the Czech style.
Green, pale olives and beige are the best colors for the abdomen; the hot spot can be fluorescent orange or even better if it’s UV. Remember to lose the barb on the hook so we can release fish easily and without leaving the spot.

Steps
Step 1
Weighing the hook.
Step 2
Tie the monofilament and the flashabou strand and use the thread to cover the tips and make the underbody. So as not to thicken the abdomen, it’s better to paint the back white rather than using thread, this can be done with nail polish. Let it dry before placing the dubbing.
Step 3
Place not too much dubbing on the thread and make the abdomen, right past the middle of the hook towards the hook eye.
Step 4
Make the hot spot with more dubbing.
Step 5
Spiral the flashabou strand, cut the remnant and tie the thin skin strap. It should cover the back and sides, no more.
Step 6
Set the strap and tie it tight to make the larva sections. Cut then the strap in the middle so two little tips remain and act as the tail.
Step 7
Finished fly. Use black or brown dubbing to make the tórax, from the hook eye to the back and all the way back to the eye where we finish. Use a black marker for the head and some cianoacrilate. Use a wire brush to loosen thorax and abdomen hair, just a bit, for it must sink fast.
