cool Italian fly

An extended body mayfly tied with a single clump of CDC.

(click on "Giuseppina", the second link from the top in the pane on the
left).

Sorry the text is in Italian, but the picture and the illustrated tying
instructions give a pretty clear idea. The text mentions the obvious
problem of finding CDC barbules long enough to tie it in larger sizes.
The version at the bottom is tied with "opossum or seal" fur, but it
might be fun to try it with snowshoe hare. Anyone here ever seen this
sort of fly before, or fished it?
