Very nice, C.C. That should drive those Michigan brookies into a virtual feeding frenzy.

CC, that really is a cool use of that material. It's got a lot of potential with softies. Nice fly.

Seriously good looking fly! I am trying to talk myself out of running to the vise and tying some up, but I am low on Cased Caddis. The Sili Leg is a neat idea. I may borrow it from you for some Yellow Sally nymphs I need to tie.
