Variations On A Theme (more caddis variations)

Bill - I took the liberty of editing the title of your initial post and then adding reference to the SBS/Tutorial. I added a link to your fly in the reference section of the forum. Your fly is at the top of the list.

I'm having a devil of the time trying to thread the krystal flash through the tubing...I resorted to xsmall wire. I am going to the fly shop later today to get more midge tubing. I tyed a few flys, but I need a bit more practice before I post a pic.

I am not going to get to the flyshop this weekend so heres a pic of my version of the Green caddis. I need a little practice on these. I didnt have the Sulky thread so I used Chartreuse thread. Also, I colored the thread Brown with a Sharpie to form the head.

HOOK- DAI-RIKI 135 size16
THREAD/UNDERBODY- UNI-8/0 CHARTREUSE
ABDOMEN- CLEAR MIDGE TUBING WITH GREEN COPPER WIRE INSERTED
THORAX- PEACOCK HERL
COLLAR- HEN CAPE (FURNACE)

The combination of your "substitute" materials is at least as effective as anything previously posted, Wayne, and I would be amazed if that rascal of yours doesn't cause a lot of sore lips out in your neck of the woods .

Damn, it is fun watching this post unfold. Wayne, this is an excellent rendition of Bill's fly. I like the idea of the copper core. I plan on copying these flies as soon as I can find my midge tubing. I know I have some buried in my desk someplace, but I have been unable to dig it up. I tried to find it last night, but it has alluded me (sad face). Hmmm...maybe it is in one of my bins.

Wayne.....that came out DANG nice.

Bill, you dead right.

Ray, don't that just drive you up a wall............ .........you can climb down now.
