Thanks Scott. I really like this one! I'm always on the lookout for easy to tie caddis patterns. This one is definitely going in the box.

Speaking of boxes...I have to ask. Based on the number of SBS's you do here, how many boxes of flies do you have?

Royce,

Kinda like Noah's Ark - 2 of each per stall :D
Have to admit, a number of these have been one-offs, experiments, itch-scratchers, just-for-funs, although some are moving to the production line.

Regards,
Scott

nice bug! I really like the effect of those two hackle colors combined.
