Crocheted Cased Caddis

Crocheted Cased Caddis (side)

Crocheted Cased Caddis (bottom)

Fly: Vladimir "Vlad" Markov, Photographs: Hans Weilenmann

Hook: Silver Holey Head Hook, #12
Thread: 8/0, black
Abdomen: 4 sections of send, amber, brown, black Antron yarn or Mouline, crocheted.
Thorax: Light olive dubbing
Legs: Deer Hair, dyed black, or very short black hackle

Note: This pattern look like a bead head fly but doesn't catch on the bottom of stream because point of hook is directed upwards /The fly have upside down position/. In the way to right color I bring natural caddis's case to an craft store and look at the lot of color mouline Madeira ( made in Germany ) to find necessary shade.
