The Netspinner Caddis pattern is designed to imitate the netspinning caddis fly larvae. These larvae are known for creating silk nets to capture food particles from the water.

To help in using turkey feather fibers for the over back of the netspinner; I cheat by using Solarez Flex UV Resin to keep the fibers together.
