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?

Try a turkey ( not goose) biot over a darker underbody ... makes a very
nice, fatter, multicolored segmented and natural looking body since the
turkey is a bit translucent on one side. Turkey biot is also much longer
and easier to wrap.
