Little Caddis Pupa Pattern

Byron,
How about turning this into a Fly Of The Week for me. Send me the step by step process, with images and I would love to use it.

Hmmm...Glossosoma Byron?
From BRF:
" Both the pink larval and pupae of this tiny caddis often form a food supply in the drift that concentrates trout in or below riffles that contain high numbers of these caddis according to Gary LaFontaine in his book, “Caddisflies”."

Very nice, Byron. That'll be in my box next season, for sure.

Chuck, I think it will work well for you. Let us know!
PT: I think you're right. Even in caddis pupae which we consider "green", there is a part of what I would call "pinkish tan". For example, the Apple Caddis Pupa.
Of course, you can have a green body and pinkish tan thorax too.
Here is a close-up from the wonderful website "Troutnut.com" of an Apple Caddis pupa and another fly like the pattern above with a green abdomen.
Keeping in mind that when wet and in the current, the partridge fibers undulate and mimic the legs of a struggling caddis pupa.

One of these patterns when wet. In the current, the partridge will undulate a bit, but when wet, it can look like this
