https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...79838125_c.jpg

Was going to call it the PetroChemicalByproduct Caddis but PCB is probably not a good name choice. Size up one and this would work as a passable Spruce Moth.

thread - Danville 6/0 tan
body/head - 1mm foam tan
wing - Congo Hair tan
thorax - dubbing tan (optional - helps the hackle lay better)
