Great looking tie. The segmented body is really nice. Is the body material a stretchy, rubbery material? I am not familiar with the hook. Is it similar to a TMC 2488? Let us know how it fishes.
I noticed that most of your Caddis Larvae & Pupa are tied with a Black Bead. Is a black bead more realistic/productive than the commonly tied gold bead?
Great looking fly, thanks for sharing, I just learned that I need some wonder wrap!!
ReplyDeleteDude, that's a awesome fly. I'll be tying some of those up for the Arkansas this spring for sure. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks Guys, It has been a great pattern this year. The big test will be this spring on the Ark.
ReplyDeleteSuper little pattern Carl, love how you segment the body!

ReplyDeleteGood looking flies, where can you buy the materials for your caddis lavra and BWO emerger pattern. Flouro fibre and tinsils
ReplyDeleteWhere are you located? Anglers All in Littleton Co has most of the materials.

ReplyDeleteMike,
DeleteI like the black bead because it matchs the natural. I think it tends to be me realistic
