Meeshka 0 Report post Posted January 4, 2021 Sessions, Been on my bucket list for a long time. Was first made aware of this cased caddis pattern on a Russian web site which I can no longer find. Google Copper Clad Caddis (American Site) for an SBS of that pattern. Doug Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Moshup 0 Report post Posted January 4, 2021 @Pbass Looks good. I’ve been stop and go on the vise my whole adult life and though you may get rusty a bit those hours at the bench add up to a growing cumulative experience. Like money in the bank. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like money in the bank. @Moshup What you said makes perfect sense. I am going to keep on tying the patterns I know for a bit here. Warm back up before I try using those beautiful tails you sent me. Thank you again my friend! Happy new year! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Meeshka 0 Report post Posted January 4, 2021 (edited) sessions For the beads my friend gave me some " diamond painting drills" that she had left over from a picture she did They are small, the smallest I could find. I had used coarse sand at one time but didn't like the aesthetics when done. I only want to tie these on a 10 or 12 because I've got those hooks Edited January 4, 2021 by Meeshka additional info Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
