#41 Large caddis
Notes:
(1) Attention getter when fished in the surface film. This pattern can also be heavily weighted and tumbled along the bottom.
(2) I like to add a little rusty orange hare's ear to the natural color to imitate the big October Caddis.
(3) The tail can be tied in various colors of wool however, softer colors seem to draw more strikes- especially gold.
(4) A spiky body is formed with a dubbing loop utilizing the hair taken directly from the ear of the mask.
(5) A collar of Russian gray squirrel is formed by a dubbing loop. A professional tanned hide will provide a very soft fur and plenty of movement when fished. A quick touch of orange indelible ink may be added to the collar.
