Fabulous job, as always, Harry! One design question for you: most of the
caddis I encounter have more substantial
bodies, do you think the biot body tied with the prominent ribbing gives the
illusion of greater bulk than appears when dry?

Tom I think the ribbed biot in combination with the "fluffy" thorax
help make the overall appearance larger...You could make the entire
body/thorax from a loop of shoe fur and just trim it to what you
like.
