Emerging Caddis

Here is another Emerging Caddis, I been trying to come up with a easy to tie caddis with not to many materials used, this one is not to bad. Looks good to me anyhow, if the fish like it that would definitely be a plus.

I used a natural latex nymph stretch skin for the body. The under body is a UV light olive ice dub, wrapped with the nymph skin to try and create a segmentation. The thorax is also ice dub in a peacock color. The wing-case is the same stretch skin in a natural latex. Legs & wings is partridge. It also has a few wraps of lead adhesive tape. The hook is a large size 8 barbless Czech Nymph Partridge Flash Point hook.

Benny,

You have a real talent at the bench and the photos of those flies are spectacular. I really like the last post of bugs and this one. They would all fish well here in AZ. Thanks for sharing. I'm inspired.

Ben, I'm glad you feel inspired to tie. I've been tying for for about six years now, on and off of course, some days I feel like nothing comes out the way I plan, and other times it seems like everything falls into place. Thanks
