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?

I haven't done any tying lately, but that makes me want to tie a few.
Great job, Harry.

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.

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.

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.
