We get some gray-bodied caddis on the Gunpowder sometimes that I'm hoping this will resemble ...

Hook: Daiichi 1550, #14
Thread: Sheer 14/0, light gray
Hackle: Ginger dun hen cape
Rib: Gold wire, X-Fine
Body: Peacock eyestick herl, bleached and dyed muskrat gray

My good golly Tie2fish this fly is awesome. This pattern is coming alive with light.
You know my affinity for flies grey. Please keep them coming friend!

Simple and pretty. A combination that can't be beat.

I am loving the bleached & dyed herl bodies. This fly looks to be, as they used to say, "a capital killer"
