Looking for photos of real caddis pupea of the more common genera like
Hydropsyche, Cheumatopsyche, and Rhyacophilia.

I've done the Google image scan and only dredged up a few worthwhile
candidates.

The goal is to be able to reproduce the most important species as
Yorkshire style wets for fishing on a swung line.

Peter, do you have a copy of the LaFontaine book:Caddisflies??
I could scan stuff in ,but the colors will get screwed up for sure.

Thanks. Yes I do, plus a few others and the pupae section is always
thin. LaFontaine as a good descriptive section on behaviour but he's
very thin on colour plates. I have one pictu

that I found on the net -- you can see what I'm trying to work with.

Basically, three types of flies on the drawing board: classic
Yorkshire wets but more tuned to colour and size, a dead drift pupal
imitation, and a good emerger using CDC.
