I love the look of that fly. That and the images that LadyFisher had in her article made me think back to the days when I would turn over rocks in the riffles and gather me a bunch of 'rock rollers' for bait. I would remove them from their cases and float them thru the pools and get my fill rather quickly as a kid fishing in Utah. I even went so far as to tie up some latex 'bugs' years ago, since I still didn't know what they were, and catching a good number of finned friends on them. the color and sheen was a good match for the immature caddis pulled from its case. I just may have to go back to tying and trying some of those again.

Great fly! Now Vickie is going to have to share her knowledge of woven flies with me. I gotta have some of those.

Great pattern of an often overlooked stage!

Nice job of tying !!!!!
A similar pattern called the Cased Caddis
is done by James Matthews (Rackelhannen).

A quick question. I'm not familiar with trout eating these cased caddis ...to include that sandy casing as tied on the fly?

I would have guessed they would reject it for the grit invading their digestive systems? Obviously not??

Thanks for the info. in advance.

Jeremy.
