Minute Caddis Larva - June 2009 TPO Fly of the Month

I just tied some too (eight in about 40 minutes) so it is also a 5 minute tie for me. I think it is useful to use a little 0.010in weighting wire just to center the bead on the shank, so I did that too. The SLF colors are the best, but the dubbing itself requires a fair amount of pressure.

Thanks for the recipe Aaron.

I tied about 6 of these up. took me a little longer than 5 minutes tho. I then started to experiment with it. Instead of using a wire rib, I first wrapped it in one layer of condom latex then used dark green thread to rib it. Here's a pic of the two I tied this way.

I made the body a little too fat on the top fly so i cut back on the dubbing on the bottom one and it came out a little better. I am going to try them out on the Flatbrook tomorrow.
