The technique to use Foam as a diving collar instead of Deerhair ( Dahlberg Diver ) was originally developed by the famous Flyfisherman/Flytier Skip Morris

Hook : Gamakatsu F-314 size 2/0

Tail : White Bigflyfiber/Hairibou mixed with Pearl Chrystalflash , UV/Pearl Flashabou and some strands of Mirage/ Opal/Pearl

Body : Pearl Flashchenille

Divingcollar : Foam 2 mm in eighter white or yellow ( the foam is shaped with a scissors to get the right diving collar shape )

The foam is tyed in at the head and folded backwards to be attatched a little bit back of the middle of the hook with the tyingthread.

Tyingthread : Clear Mono.

To get the foam a little harder shell i often give it a layer of softbody.

Good Luck
