Caddis on the current

[mizzouflyfisher]

I'm tying up a bunch of caddis larva and pupae, and I'm looking for some information on colors. If anybody has any colors/patterns that work well on the Current (hopefully Sam sees this) I would really appreciate the info.

There was a nice hatch a couple of weekends ago when I was there. Those were about size 18 and brownish-tan in color. I tie all of my caddis flys for the current with cow elk hair, ginger hackle and tan dubbing in sizes 16 and 18.

Mizzou,

Go to this link and take a look at the caddis emerger pattern.

to quote: "When the large tan caddis are coming off in March, a good and simple emerger/pupa pattern is this one with a pale green floss body, mallard flank for the tail and back, and a brown hen hackle. Fish it swung in the current when trout first start rising to emerging caddis adults."

Also for the dries...
