Green Butt (egg sack) pattern. Using Kelly Galloup's Butch Caddis pattern
We were discussing the colors of insect egg sacks (ova). Someone mentioned a caddis pattern which breaks the surface to swim below and deposit her eggs.
The basic Butch Caddis (w/o legs) was designed by Kelly Galloup to allow the fly to be pulled beneath the water and expected to return to the surface and float.
To achieve this, it has regular, fine tipped deer hair for the wing, above the under-wing of zelon; the hollow butts of that same deer hair as an additional over-wing; and a "bullet head" .....all to provide buoyancy.
I also added UV Pearl Ice Dub.
Apologies for some of the fly being out of focus!
