dance...a very interesting pattern. This pattern as tied by Gary LaFontaine, the "dancing caddis". The pattern is tied on an upside down hook. Original pattern calls for a swedish dry fly hook. (I ordered them and should receive them tuesday) I wanted to practice so I used a Tiempco 200RBL. According to the pattern the wing is just a tad long. Let me tell you, I jabbed myself on the first one pretty good, tying in the deer hair wing. I tied two...this is the only one I can photo as the other is ....... don't know it vanished. I cleaned up before photographing and I may have tossed it. I searched the room and nothing......vaccuumed as a precaution. Well hopefully it won't turn up.
What do you think? again...the wing is a tad long....although I don't think the fish will mind.
