Just google backswimmer fly patterns. SFOTF did a sxs on the Ultimate boatman ,which is my fav.Rowley's got some also.Don't just think that you have to have foam in the pattern.A very simple pattern . size 10 scud hook.Peacock herl body,with dark blk plastic [garbage bag] strip pulled over the peacock..Definitely increase your tipet size,vicous strikes.Don't handle the live bug,they have stingers .Similiar to a wasp....
