Philo Caddis Emerger
Jack Gartside
Hook - Curved caddis, size 12-20
Thread - To match or compliment body color
Rib - Pearl krystal flash
Body - Blend of squirrel, rabbit and basal fluff from a gamebird feather
Wing/thorax - Pheasant aftershaft feather (may be clipped on top)
Antennae - Two strands of barred wood duck flank, extending past the hook bend
Remarks: This effective design by Jack Gartside may more appropriately belong in the section on caddis pupae and larvae. However, because of its name, and its slightly different structure, it is listed here with other emergers.
