Spotted Caddis Pupa


wet fly...

Bill, that short length of yarn to each sir is a convincing pupa detail that doesn't veer into the "bits and pieces" representation. I'll save this one as something to fuss with. With or without a bead it should be a great emerger.

William,

I will tie these yarn wing caddis emergers without the bead but probably with a wire rib on the abdomen just to keep down a little on the swing in bigger waters. (Fl. Chartreuse for the Rockworm and Gold on the Spotted) A couple of weeks ago indicator drift fishing was the ticket on the Metolius and the Middle Deschutes, these will help fill some gaps in my fly coverage. I think my regular flymphs will do the damp imitations well enough. Their BH larva are next up on my bench.

I'm really digging these patterns Bill. Really nice imitative patterns and great dubbing blends. Well done!
