Good fly. My issue with it though is that there is really nothing keeping it in place on the hook. The slightest disturbance is going to roll the body.

@dpatch777 Thanks for the feedback. Actually, the super-glue does a pretty good job at securing the foam to the thread base on the hook. Plus, when you apply the thread wraps, it ends up "pinching" the foam around the hook a bit more which also gives it more surface area to bite. You might have missed the glue step, as it was pretty quick.
