Currently one of the most popular caddis patterns, that has a couple of interesting techniques. Holy Grail Caddis pupa fly tying instructions by Barry Ord Clarke.

I could get pretty confident with that in waters with lots of fat caddis.   

In all of my years fishing Missouri rivers/streams I've only gotten to truly partake in a caddis hatch ONCE, and a simple tobacco colored soft-hackle did the job just fine.

Haven't found a soft hackle fly that wont catch trout, so that one should work too. Nice tie.

Good looking fly.

But I have better luck with lightly weighted soft hackles. I try to tie them with just a bit of lead that puts them in the surface film.
