Flash Caddis

Flash Caddis
hook	any scud hook
hook size(s)	12-16
thread	olive 8/0
head	caddis or emerald green glass bead
abdomen	caddis green or light olive rabbit
rib	fine copper wire
body-under	pearl, silver, or gold sparkle flash
body-over	olive antron, very loose
thorax	peacock herl
notes: The Sparkle flash should extend the length of the abdomen. Use about 4 strands, 2 on each side. The antron is a little tricky. Use the course, loose dubbing, not the yarn. Tie it in like you would Z-lon, on both the top and the bottom, over the abdomen. Pull it together at the back of the fly so it covers the whole abdomen. This will act like a short tail. The antron overbody will flash and pulsate in the water. This fly also works well in dark olive and light brown.
