Caribou Dub Caddis SBS

http://i1302.photobucket.com/albums/...psca674b76.jpg

Instructions I've read for this fly call for the hair to be twisted onto heavily waxed thread and then dubbed, creating a very scraggy body; I've tried it a few times with mixed (mostly poor) results and ended up using half a caribou hide to get just a few hairs to stay on the thread. Decided to try a spun loop method instead; a lot easier to get the fibers to stay attached and wrapped.

hook - Dai Riki 320 #14
thread - UTC 70 tan
abdomen - caribou
