The Candy Shop Callibaetis is designed to match both stages of life. It is tied with tan scud backing wings laid out the the side and a glued in clump of macramé yarn for the post to look like upright wings.
The legs are made of grizzly and brown dry fly hackle wrapped behind, around, and in front of the wings.
The long segmented body is in typically tan or grey making the callibaetis biot color a perfect fit with two pieces of micro fibbets to match the split tail the naturals have.
The final touches are cutting the hackle flush with the bottom of the hook shank to keep the dry low in the film.
The wings are marked with grey or brown Coptic markers to display the hour glass look the beautiful adults have.
