Simple Foam Caddis SBS

[ScottP]

Was going to call it the PetroChemicalByproduct Caddis but PCB is probably not a good name choice. Size up one and this would work as a passable Spruce Moth.

hook - Dai Riki 305 #14
thread - Danville 6/0 tan
body/head - 1mm foam tan
wing - Congo Hair tan
thorax - dubbing tan (optional - helps the hackle lay better)
hackle - barred cream


Part 1

mash barb, start thread; cover shank and return to eye




tie in foam strip (1/2 gap width) forward over eye




brush shank with Super Glue, fold back/create head; tie down, wrap to bend






wrap body, tie off/trim




tie in a hank of CH; crosswrap






tie in hackle, sweeping wing back

Part 2

dub thread/dub thorax






wrap hackle; tie off/trim, half hitch x 2, SHHAN




trim hackle underneath/trim wing

Alberto,

Thanks. Not my invention. I borrowed parts from a few different patterns.
