Thread: 8/0 black
Body: Krystal dubbing or Scud dubbing, green

Notes: Often in the summer months the Caddis hatches don't really get going until evening, but prior to that time, during the daytime hours, the fish often gorge on the active pupae that often are free in the drift prior to emergence. Match colors to the species.
