Thanks Scott. Another valuable addition to my fly box.

As usual, really well done, Scott. I think perhaps I will tie that in a Size #16 or #18 without a tail and fish it as a caddis.

Nice one! I'll have to try to get a couple of these tied up tonight.

This pattern has always been on my tying list but I continue to pass it by. I need to get some tied up. Thanks for the kick Scott.
