This pattern can get as complicated or as simple that you want it to be. A cool thing to do here for the body is to add some glass beads in between wraps of dubbing for some shine, as most caddis pupae are shiny bugs. For extra realism, try adding a few strands of deer hair cut short in between the body and thorax for some great little pupa legs.
This is a great little realistic caddis pattern that can be great to use for all types of trout water, from selective tailwater trout, to large freestones and small headwaters. This is also a simple tie, so this allows you to tie up a few and still have time to get out on the water at the end of the day.
This is a great trailing nymph pattern to use behind an attractor on an indicator rig, or as the tag on a euro rig. This can also be a great fly to use in shallow water dry dropper situations. Since caddis are among the most active bugs in stream environments, a perfectly dead drifted fly is not absolutely needed.
