Thanks gents, for pointing these variations on the E/C Caddis out and all the subsequent discussion. If I had anything relevant to add I surely would but sometimes it's best just to shut up and listen.

The X-Caddis is a personal fav. of mine too and variations on the theme are appreciated and will be more than simply noted here, I'll take them down to my tying room this winter and give them a try.

My trouble is I have so many left over from last year and my fly boxes are basically still full of patterns that I'm feeling a love for that I'll just have to pick and choose and set up a box of "extra's" just so I can vary them up a bit. But I will!!

Great topic Byron. I want to buy that new vise just for this winter (and get rid of a couple others) but I'm having trouble with a couple fly rods eating at me of late. Such problems...

Thanks all,

Jeremy.
