The measurements of fly fishing: 1 part man, 1 part fish, and all God.
They look good. You might try them a little smaller too. Carl Richards said in one of his books that the TVA tailwaters were full of cinnamon caddis which have about a size sixteen olive larva. I know that in the Muskegon river when I would occasionally meet him his advice about insects was always spot on.
I can think of few acts more selfish than refusing a vaccination.
Joe;
The Caddis Larva we found on the rocks last spring were about size 16's. Of course the photo you posted made it look like some sort of River Monster!!
Very nice flies. I, too, would tie them in about a size 16 or so.

I tie a similar pattern but use a black bead instead of the copper, not sure if it matters, just a preference thing
