This is a pattern that I've been fishing for over 15 years in some fashion or another. This one is a bit more slimline that others that I've done, and I've started playing with the concept of using hot spot sections in the legs... Yeah, confusing - best to just go watch the video. This is one of my favorite foam flies to fish in the middle of the summer!
