Nice "caddis" style softy, Hans. An interesting way to recycle :D

I'm starting to develop hook envy--those Grip hooks look great on this style of fly.

Good looking fly, Hans. Glad to see you found your way to us.

I think this pattern would make a killer Rhyacophilidae imitation. I wish I had this fly a couple summers ago when I was fishing in the Adirondacks. I found some crawling around on the rocks, but didn't have any imitations in my box to fish with. Here are a couple photos I took at the time.
