I was inspired by DUBBN's excellent caddis patterns to try my hand at some.
Hook: Scud, size 12
Thread: White for abdomen, brown for remainder of fly.
Body: Orange d-rib, medium.
Rib: Single strand of pearl crystal flash.
Hackle: Natural Indian hen back,
Thorax: Dark brown SLF dubbing.

Oh man, that is a "catchy" looking fly. Great stuff, John.

Very nice John, this should fish well for you.

Nice work in borrowing a friends pattern and using it to influence your own.

Great pattern John. I hope this style works for you as well as it has for me.

Thanks for the kind comments. It does not show up that well in the photo, but the rib adds a nice, subtle flash to the body. I am looking forward to trying to tempt some Lochsa River cutthroats with it.

John your crystal flash really compliments the body. Nice fly.
