Catgut Caddis Pupae

 

This is my first time tying this kind of fly. I think that this shall go through more evolution before it is complete.

 

Material list:

 

Underbody: Yellow thread.

 

Body: Squirrel fur dubbed on catgut.

 

Hackle: Sparse white partridge.

 

Hotspot: Yellow thread.

 

This fly could definitely have turned out better, but I think that it is a promising design.

Henry Denson ... there's another member, Lucian, who is one of the top notch tiers on this site.

He ties catgut caddis like yours.

The only difference I see is that the butt end of the body isn't tapered ... it just "ends".

 

Other than that ... yours is a good looking bug, and it looks great wet, too.
