Hm Larva?

I've been tying midges tonight, but got tired of squinting to see them lol...so I made something a little bigger and is what I guess, some type of larva?
Any tips or improvements you guys have for this fly would be greatly appreciated.

Materials:
Silver tungsten bead (3/32)
Hook #14 Scud
Black vinyl rib (Medium)
Silver wire (Small) (Wire wrapped over vinyl rib)
Antron Dubbing (Hares Ear and Black mixed)
Pheasant Tail for the legs
8/0 Uni Thread (Red)

Looks like a Zebra on steroids; should fish just fine. If you want it a little thinner, use black wire instead of vinyl; 2-wire bodies make a cool effect.

Nicely tied. There are some large midges (#14 and bigger) although I believe they are mostly a lake fly. Your fly could also work as a caddis pupa or larva, an aquatic beetle larva, or various other immature bugs.

Nice fly! Looks buggy. Fish will eat it!

It needs to be soaked in water on the end of a thin monofilament line. Let the real critics give you their opinion.

I tie Caddis Larvae like that.

I'm excited to try it out. Hopefully in the next week or so I'll get to wet a line again and see if the trout find it to their liking.
