LE Caddis Larva

Fly: Leif Ehnström, Photograph: Hans Weilenmann

Hook: Partridge Long Shank Sedge or similar 12 - 16
Thread: Brown
Rib: Thin nylon
Abdomen: Crystal Hares Ear
Thorax: Dark Hares Ear or similar
Legs: Partridge
Eyes: Amnesia line - burnt
Back: Thin Skin – Mottled Oak
Note: Two strips of floss is bound down underneath the abdomen using the ribbing. The strips are then cut between the ribbing turns to form the hairy look of the underside of the abdomen. The body is made a little broader by tying in a piece of nylon (0.60 mm) on each side of the hook and then I weighted the hook using lead near the hook eye.
