Sparkle Pupa

[Hans Weilenmann]

Probably doesn't do justice to his design, but tried to follow his directions.

Byron,

Gary's directions in Caddisflies has the tier tying down two strands of antron, one on top of the shank and one on the bottom of the shank. I never did understand this advice as it has the tier struggle to negotiate the bend and sharp hook point&barb.

I strongly suggest tying in the bunches on either side of the shank instead, as indeed Matt Grobert in the Vimeo video demonstrates

Cheers,
Hans W
