outstanding work pat! that should slay
Beautiful! I recently did a November trip in northern California and the "October Caddis" was everywhere. We tied massive bugs with primarily synthetic wings and they served us very well. Yours are far prettier. Thanks for the inspiration.
Sick pattern! It looks like the poly yarn caddis. Nice blog too!
