"Lead" Zepplin Caddis Larvae

Like the band here's a Caddis that "Get's Down." It's great in a multi-fly Czech rig and equally effective by itself under an indicator. It's tied on a Partridge CZF size 14 which is really a size 10 in US hooks. Also, because of this hooks fine diameter wire I'm able to pack lots of lead onto the shank while still maintaining a fairly slim profile overall.

Hook: Partridge CZF sz. 14

Thread: UTC 70 in Fluorescent Chartreuse for the abdomen, and Uni 8/0 in Black for the thorax and head.

Underbody: Veniards Extra Fine Flat Lead, three layers tapered.

Abdomen: Jan Siman Magic Shrimp Foil in Light Olive, tied shiny side down so shiny side faces up when wrapped.

Rib: 5x Mono

Thorax: Black Ostrich Herl. Wrap herl and stroke fibers on top down, coat the top of thorax and head with Liquid Fusion (shown here) or any UV cured adhesives. Look up JC's Electric Caddis, the thorax is created the same way.

Extras: Brown Permanent Marker to color Abdomen.

Notes: Try not to wrap the Shrimp Foil too tight or your segmentation won't be as pronounced when your mono rib is wrapped.
