HALO Caddis Larva...#14-#16...

Workin' on some patterns for Spring...


PT/TB :p

Very nice! Looks small - size 18 or 20?

Byron,

That is a size #14...I am going to tie up some in Amber, in #16, as a Pupa for a bug that comes off on the East Walker River here in CA in May and early June...I am using this:

Which allows the thread underneath to glow....interesting stuff, best suited to #10-#16...


PT/TB

I would fish that on the Madison this summer; cool fly.

Regards,
Scott

This is the Pupa, in Amber...decided to go with a Daiichi 1760, #18...

PT/TB :p

Don't have any of the Halo Wire so I took some olive micro tubing, inserted copper wire in it and wrapped it on a #20. May have to play around with different color combinations and try them out on some tailwater trout in April:
