A really simple caddis pupa pattern. I tied these up to either fish on a dropper above a heavy tungsten bead point fly on a tight line system or as the dropper in a dry/dropper set up under a CDC and Elk or Elk Hair Caddis during active caddis hatches. In either set up the pupa will ride at different levels of the middle part of the water column where a lot of feeding activity takes place during caddis hatches. I may also just swing it in tandem with another favorite soft hackle wet fly as more of an attractor type of fly. It's a really quick tie where a dozen can be cranked out in a very short time period.
I really like the looks of these dc410. Any chance you could post a recipe/materials? Looks like mostly brushed out dubbing including some ice dub or something similar for a hackle-like collar but hard to tell from the photo.
