Easy Dub Caddis Larva

Materials


Hook:  Fulling Mill Czech Nymph, Size 12
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!
