The first couple I tied with the recipe in the book looked closely related to large, barbless dust bunnies...It does seem similar to some of the down wing caddis patterns out there...My impression is that the whole thing is done with a clump of deer hair. Its the steps in tying that are vague...I think I'm just missing something simple...
At this point I'm just trying to assuage my OCD and come up with something bug like to throw at fish...If I can tie something not too embarrassing, I'll post pics.

From the book:
Hook 18-20 up-eye; standard weight
Thread color to match the body hair color
body and wing a clump of deer hair, the stubs are layed along the shank and wrapped down lengthtwise ; the tips of the clump form the wing.
Hope this help you.

I have to admit, that does not help me much. You fasten the butts near the bend or the eye? then let the tips be the "wings." What kind of wings? Surely someone can solve this mystery by photograph. I'll run a search.... no luck.
