Bullethead Snowshoe Caddis

This is a style of fly I've been toying around with for the past couple weeks. A few issues back Fly Tyer magazine had ran an article about a new way of hackling your dry flies. This method involves winding the hackle in the usual "Catskill" style then separating the fibers top and bottom with strips of foam. So I came up with this adult Caddis borrowing bits and pieces from other patterns I've tied. The hackle is CDC separated on top with the bullethead style wing and the bottom with a strip of tan Razor Foam. It's been a great pattern for slower glides especially in smaller sizes when everyone else insists on fishing an Elk Hair or Henryville.
