Brian Chan's recommendation for water boatman and backswimmer:

The more numerous water boatman are grazers. The larger backswimmers are
hunting predators.

hook: heavy wire, 1X long, sizes 12 and 10
thread: black
back: PT fibers, about two dozen. strip of plastic sheeting over top
(optional)
body: dark- or emerald-green plastic chenille.
legs: Black Super Floss or Flexi Floss, threaded through the body with a
needle, held with glue

That pattern looks good. On the show last night, Leroy was using goose biot
(sp?) for the legs. It looked pretty nice.
