This pattern imitates the stage of th isonychia when it is breaking out of its shuck and the dun is just beginning to show.  It is just beyond a floating nymph.  Loren fishes it upstream in the film and doesn't use fly floatant on it but instead he puts floatant on the first few inches of his tippet.
