Chug, those are sweet, I like the Hughes variant best. I may have to make a run to Joann fabrics this weekend, is the yarn wool or synthetic? Thanks for sharing.

Mike.

Well … Some people call it Ballon Caddis but here is what happened. I was watching Barry Ord’s last video and it was nice how he looped foam to create bubble. He called it Hangman Midge in video, I think. I tried it and then I was supposed to find some hair to make thorax, but deer hair was on the table. I cut small pinch and tied it. I should stick with his recipe but it is not critical.

I am glad you liked it. It floats. I tested it.

I was never sure whether I liked Brooks' patterns, but nobody can deny their effectiveness.  Good job.
