Dubbn....I am too! We don't really have many caddis where I am and the ones we do have are tiny black ones. I had the dubbing first and thought it would make a cool looking case so I looked up some recipes to see what size they used and this was the hook one of them chose. I was just doing it for fun. Is it much too large?

No, I do not think it is too big at all. Heck, it could do double duty as a Cranefly larva. Its a good looking pattern.

Now thats what I would call a suggestive pattern.
I read caddis in the subject line, Dubbn saw cranefly in the picture, and I see a cress bug with an egg sack.
Fish that in a Limestone creek that has a bit of vegetation and you'll put a hurt on the trout population.
