Is the foam enough to make the fly float in the surface film? I could see that as an advantage over other 'floating nymph' patterns I've seen. Thanks for posting this pattern.
Hi. Please, can you explain me what is the purpose of a foam above the thorax? I did't see such element before. That's very interesting. And sorry for my English.) I am from Ukraine.
The yellow foam represents the wing of the dun (adult) mayfly breaking out of the wing case of the nymph. The PMD mayfly has a yellow leading edge on the wing the trailing edge of the wing is a light to medium gray color.

Your English is very good, much better than our Ukranian!!
Wouldn't exactly call that a "sparse" abdomen.
