Tied Down Caddis (variation)

Added a shoulder for a little more buggyness and left the butt ends a bit long to make a head.

hook - DaI Riki 300 #8
thread - Uni 6/0 tan 
tail/shellback - deer hair
body - dubbing hare’s ear 
body hackle - ginger
shoulder- pheasant rump 

Regards,
Scott

Digging this a lot, looks super versatile. When you say pheasant rump, what feather in particular? I've got a skin and am having trouble seeing which feather this is. 

Biot substitute.

You're scrap tub reminds me of when Lefty Kreh came to a fundraiser and tied a Lefty's Deceiver. The club auctioned off the fly which was mounted along with a signed autograph by Lefty to authenticate the fly.

The club also collected the trimmings from Lefty tying his Deceiver and put the trimming in a Ziplock bag that Lefty also autographed. The club auctioned off the trimmings!!!!

I think it brought in about $30 and that was many many years ago.

Personality cult. Bet they would've auctioned his toenail clippings and beard trimmings if they'd had them available. 

@gillage and @chugbug27 much obliged, thank you. (It appears that I have no idea how to tag people on this site haha) 

Bluegill flavored mini bufords intended for big bass. 

It's possible to save money. Maybe not if you're only tying trout stuff, but if you're into big flies for pike and bass, those things are $5 and up. Some pike flies are $35! I always feel great after I tie a big buford.
