Peregrines.. wow.. thanks for the education! I've been reading Hughes' "Handbook of Hatches" which helps out a ton on this stuff for a relative new guy, but it's going to be pored over many times before the information actually settles in permanently.

I actually started tying caddis patterns exactly as you mentioned last night. Every place I've looked and read mentions the exact same thing, so why not? Besides, I really enjoy tying caddis patterns, for some reason. Thanks again for the info!
