Bristle Caddis Pupa

[esox niger]

I've had this one on the brain for a couple of days. Just got some bucktail for dubbing and wanted to put it to the test.

The body/case extends via 16# mono. Did a dubbing loop with about 1 inch free of dubbing to start my way back down the mono then wraped forward to the eyes. Ostrich hearl for the head and thats it..I guess most caddis are simple, this one is.

Chopped hair blended in the dubbing? Very cool.

Nice work and creative idea, what I love about tying.

One thing leads to another.... (does anyone else squint at flies to get a more imprssionistic view of them?, Im always squinting at flies) the little mini thumbnail images in the edit mode actually look almost perfect for a small craw....Ok everyone squint and back up 20ft
