A translucent chironomid pupa tied with Liquid Lace over a thread underbody coloured with permanent ink markers, finished with a pheasant tail wingcase, peacock herl thorax and white sparkle yarn gills. The article does not describe a specific fishing method; the fly imitates a midge pupa with a segmented, shiny abdomen.
