It's a chironomid pattern out of British Columbia. Here's the pattern information:

Thread - black
Rib - red copper wire
Body - super floss. You can vary the colors. I use black
Thorax - tying thread
Head - white metal bead
The only tying trick is that you wrap the tying thread up onto the white bead so that only half of the bead is visable. Here is a link with a picture:

I like to use them under an indicator because they sink like a rock. I'll put one or two other flies on further up the leader and use the ice cream cone to get everything down quickly. It is also known as a Sno Cone,
