This is a pattern that I have been using for my anchor is the

allowed to use weight so I have built this fly with a tungsten bead and
19 wraps of .013" lead wire. This fly works well not only weighted but
unweighted as well. This is tied on a TMC 5263 in a size 8 to imitate
all of the stick cased caddis that inhabit the slower sections of most
trout streams.

From a not-yet-a-fly-tier, very informative and interesting. I've
bookmarked it for future reference. From an experienced photographer, get a
tripod.
