Looks like it's made from rocks....I made one like this once.. it's a bit of
work.
You can build up the body a bit.. then coat on epoxy.. dip it into small
pebbles and scrunch them into shape.
You can then touch up with epoxy again later and add the peacock herl.
It's a ton of work... and unless you build the body well to begin with it
will all rotate around the hookshank.

Maybe you can get the caddis larvae to do the work for you.
