A more serious fly which is killer for resident bows
Caddis Pupa
Great ties from you guys so far...

Take a picture of it wet Chase, wanna see how that looks.
Inspired by Chase's colour scheme I tied a nymph. I am planning on adding the "Casual Dress" Nymph in the future but need a few more tries before I get good enough to post.
Thread: Uni-Thread 6/0 - Black (Green would be better)
Hook: White River size 10 nymph hook (got at BPS)
Tail: Green Hackle Fibers - Length of the hook shank
Abdomen: Green tubing (don't know the name or size, got it in a kit) - 2/3 of the hook shank
Thorax: Died Green Hare's Ear Dubbing - 1/3 of the hook shank
Wing Case: Peacock Hearl
Legs: Green Hackle cut to length of hook gap
The head's a little messed up but I don't think it's too big of a deal.
Now that's a thing of beauty. Great work!
See...the more you tie, the better the outcome...GOOD JOB, you're getting there for sure.
Try some deer or pheasant tail for the wing case (tie it in behind the thorax...hares ear + polar dub...pull pheasant quills forward and tie off)
nice flie guys hope to see you all on the water catching fish with those...nice flies --envy your patience
Some goto articulated streamers. Sorry, pics aren't the greatest. You can find recipes for most of these flies online, just google the names.
