thank you guys I really appreciate the kind words. I am always learning and trying new patterns. I post what I can in hopes of giving others ideas and to see what one can do!

heres a few real awesome Caddis pupa patterns that are fairly simple but are deadly in creeks and rivers. I have been working to perfect the green color I want, it doesn't show as much in the pictures but they are a green color. I noticed in some rivers Caddis pupa vary in the color of green. I have been experimenting with a epoxy bodied pattern ill post once im satisfied with the product. These sink like rocks to so you can get to the bottom and in the zone real quick and not halfway through your drift.
