Thought i'd post a shot of a Cased Caddis that has been catching well for me over the last few weeks.
The hook is a size 10 TMC Grubber.
Thread is Brown Chamel 6/0.
White antron for the thorax.
Grey Partridge for the legs.
The case is made up of fake soil from miniature dolls house's that my wife collects & builds.
I have varnished 2/3rds of the body & then sprinkle the fake soil on, wait until completey dry then varnished over the whole case.
I have tied half a dozen in different sizes & hook styles, some weighted some not.
As can be seen the fake soil makes an extremely effective body material that is also very durable.
The Derwent Trout & Grayling seem to be falling for it.
