Caddis Pupa (generic)

Fly: Jason Freund, Photograph: Hans Weilenmann

Hook: TMC 205BL, 2487, or 2457 or equivalent
Thread: To match body color
Shuck: Zelon, color to match natural
Body: Dubbing/antron mixture
Rib: Copper wire
Wings: Zelon and Wood duck flank feathers
Thorax: Antron dubbing, loop dubbed

Notes: Sort of an amalgamation of several caddis pupa patterns, this one looks "buggy". Fish dead drift or twitched to imitate emerging caddis. Fishes well in the surface film or add split shot to fish as a drifting/emerging pupa.
