Cased Caddis

Hook: Mustad size #12
Head: Gold Bead (size 10/0)
Thread: Black 6/0
Hackle: Black, long
Thorax: Green floss
Abdomen: Brown rabbit dubbing
Start by sliding on a bead all the
way to the eye. Next tie in the hackle, butt toward the hook bend,
immediately behind the bead. Wind two turns of hackle and tie off, trim. Now
trim off the hackle fibers so they're short and stiff. Length should be about 2
bead widths. Tie in the fluorescent yellow thread immediately behind the hackle.
Wind back and forth over a space about one eye-width long to build up the
thickness to just slightly smaller than the bead and tie off. Next you can add
lead weight( optional ) and tie off thread (whip finish) and cement lead if
used. Tie in thread again at the beginning of the hook bend, dub the thread with
the brown rabbit dubbing, using both guard hairs and under fur, just as it comes
from the hide. Dub up to yellow thread , and whip finish between the dubbing and
the thread.
Brush the dubbed abdomen with a piece of velcro till it becomes
bristled.
