My wet fly equivalent to the elk hair caddis? Just let the elk hair caddis sink!! I'm serious! Works like a charm.

i always consisdered cdc to be "dry"

It's only dry until you sink it, then it's a wetI've had my caddis dip below the surface at the end of a drift only to get slammed by a fish before I could recast it enough times that I now will often fish it that way on purpose.
If it swims and eats, it'll eat a fly.

Wickham's Fancy
I think that the Serendipity does a good job imitating an emerging caddis. It may also do a good job as a midge emerger.
Hi,
I was going to suggest Wickham's Fancy tied wet (it's a dry fly originally), but Cold beet me to it. I'll also suggest an Invicta, which I've had luck with during caddis hatches. Finally, a hare's ear (natural or dyed olive) and hen pheasant (or partridge) with a peacock herl head can be useful too.
