brandon722 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2009 Have you ever tried that micro-tubing stuff? It might decrease the bulk of the body and increase the gap between hook and body just a little. I still love this fly - I added it to my blog - brandon722.blogspot.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fiahermansfly 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2009 Thanks guys. I was trying to set apart that thick butt section of the caddis. It didn't work quite as planned, but it's the start to something better!

fiahermansfly 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2009 Wongrs-http://www.wapsifly.com/pdffiles/wap/page%2023.pdf I used it out of one of my many dispensers, the color is dark gray. I threw it into a dubbing loop because I have a hard time with this dubbing sticking to the thread. I've tried glue, wax, and everything in between. I was thinking of throwing some mono in the whip finish figure 8 style and then melting it down for a pair of eyes. Throw on some black or dark gray medalion sheeting for the wing buds and it would be just about realistic! Thanks for the kind words guys! ~Brett Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wongrs 0 Report post Posted April 8, 2009 thanks FF. i guess i wasn't expecting the dubbing strands to be so long and i thought it was some other type of material. looking good and i like the mono eyes on the revamped version! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
