Splitsville Caddis Emerger SBS

Found a pic of a winged/hackled LaFontaine-like emerger doing an interweb search. Switched out the EHC wing for the split version; next one will utilize Congo Hair instead. My thanks to Messrs. LaFontaine, Quigley and Troth.

Congo Hair wing's a lot easier to install without excessive buildup in the thorax; makes a difference in smaller sizes. Ungulates around the world agree.
