Beauty.

I never think about spent caddis on stream. Two reasons for my disfunction. First, spent caddis are very hard to see, unless you're looking right down on them. Second, trout take them with a gentle sipping rise. I just don't think caddis when I see that rise. I fish mayfly or midge emergers or spinners, when I see sipping fish.

I tied up some of these and some of the spin=o-rama spent caddis and will force myself to fish them.

Byron, your pattern with the wrapped hackle gives me an idea. I have a lot of very long dry hackles that I never use. I'll try wrapping then forcing them down and back with the shellback material and dubbing. Cut flush on the bottom.
