Re: Variations On A Theme (more caddis variations)
Fantastic tutorial, Bill! I can't wait for your book.
Now I gotta get me some new materials (Sulky thread & midge tubing), so I can tye some of these for myself.
Thanks for taking the time to pull together the tutorial. You've done a great job. It's almost like sitting next to you as you tyed the fly.

Bill, both Dave Hughes and Rick Hafele recommend the Green Rock Worm (Bead Head) as one the sinlge most important Caddis Nymphs (larva stage), in their nymph box. i bet your fly here is just the ticket.....although it may need a split shot or two in order to be fished the way they're talkin' bout.......yours seems to be a bit more of an emerger (pupa stage).....but it would undoubtedly do just as well fished a bit deeper when nessessary.

tie2fish, Howdy;
Bill ! Saw the fly posted this morning, I was stunned !
Went off to do my "Friday stuff", come home to see you did the SBS,
DANG ! You really made it look like it was no big deal... Just do this, then that
next thing ya know ... 'poof' here's your fly...
I truly envy you folks that have the imaginations with the superchargers attached.
Thanks Bill, for taking the time to do what ya did...
