Hi All,

I have been looking overhttp://www.flytyingworld.com/flyindex.shtml
for a Caddis nymph pattern. *I am not finding anything I
like.

What I am after is the next best thing to reaching into
the water, grabbing a Caddis fly in its rock cocoon, pealing
the cocoon, and sticking the ugly, indignant little bugger
on a hook. *Mainly, I am look for a black head with a cream
colored body.

Does anyone have a suggestion?

Many thanks,

Go buy yourself some "trigger nymphs." in pink, green. If that stream
of yours has caddis it is reasonably healthy. I also like ovipositing
patterns, fish it hopping, little hops, bouncing and touching the
surface, in the moving water, in the dusk. Try it with a dab of
flotant, in the early morning, drifting in the meniscus. Pay close
attention as the first cast is the most likely to draw the strike.
