Last week, I visited a fly shop and picked up a size 18 olive Bird's Nest. As I sat at my vise this past weekend, I started playing with the general pattern and came up with this...



Sz 12 curved caddis hook, black nickel 1/8" bead, brown partridge tail, black peacock ice dub dubbed chunky with a copper wire rib, brown partridge legs, purple ice dub thorax

The picture was taken after a dozen or so gills decided it looked good enough to eat. Hope y'all enjoy...
