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

typed: http://www.troutflies.com/tutorials/...is/index.shtml I haven't done any tying lately, but that makes me want to tie a few. Great job, Harry. -- TL, Tim --------------------------- http://css.sbcma.com/timj/

Tom 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.

http://www.troutflies.com/tutorials/...is/index.shtml Nice work Harry. I like the way you do the backgrounds (with a background highlight centered behind the subject). I'm going to try figure out how to do that myself. I've been looking at a burgeoning collection of how-to-do-it fly tying videos on YouTube. I'm going to have to work that into my act too.

Tom 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.
