Anyone not familiar with Norm Norlander's method of dressing an adult Caddis?

I was watching his video on YouTube. He did not tie in a fine gold wire for ribbing. He did not leave a long tag of thread at the rear.

I wondered how he would bind the hackle?

He palmered the hackle to the rear and then palmered it back to the front....lots of hackle on his version.

I thought it was kind of a neat solution.
