The hook is a Mustad 80200BR Shrip/Caddis in size 10. Wing is Congo Hair from FTD. That loop in the segment is thread that didn’t get clipped from making the extended body.

chugbug27 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2023 Oh that is outstanding. The taper,the hackle, the married tail, the mottled feather, the color repetitions and placements, and the red topping just snaps it all together for me anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
