Notes:
A fly developed by Mr. Bob Good and published in The Basic Manual of Fly-Tying by Fling & Puterbaugh
It’s a wet fly so use a wet fly hook of appropriate size for a caddisfly pupa – 12 – 18?
Choose a thread color (olive, tan) desired for the the fly; lay down a thread base
Tie in a section of quill (goose, turkey, pheasant) as wide as 1/3 the hook length at the hook bend
Tie in the body matetial; Fling & Puterbaugh suggest wool, but other dubbing or herl can also be used; leave room behind the hook eye to tie in the hackle
Pull the quill up over the body; tie in and clip off excess
Two wraps of a dark hackle 1 1/2 the length of the hook gap is tied in infront of the casing
Whip finish and head cement.
