Materials
Weight: Two layers of lead tape
Thread: UTC 70, Dark Brown
Shellback: Baby Bug Back, Clear. Apply two coats of thin UV resin over the shellback
Ribbing: Monofilament tying thread, Fine (or 4# mono)
Body: Easy Dub, Light Olive
Thorax: Hend's Spectra Dubbing, Dark Brown #335
Notes
1. I wish Easy Dub came in more caddis larva colors!
2. Use lead tape to build some weight into the fly as well as the initial taper.
3. I've added a mottled effect to the body by using a brown indelible pen over the first coat of UV resin. A second coat of resin adds more depth and give a very life like appearance to the pattern.
4. The Easy Dub Caddis Larva is a winner anywhere free living larva craw across the rocks!
