Re: Caddis
Wayne - Can you tell us how you formed and colored the body on this pattern? Nice attention to natural looking detail. Sorry about the poor fly quality. I am tying with a broken right (dominant)hand. 68495027_1097615513769405_4648218224268148736_n.jpg By coloring with a Sharpie then wiping it light...
