Simply raising the price could be interpreted as enhancing the value. Putting a pinch more dubbing in a bag makes it super. A Caddis Quill Larva. Their prominently segmented bodies reflect a lot of light, but they are not transparent. I understand that the idea of adding sparkle fibers to a dubbing mix is to give the appearance of translucence, but when we win the translucence battle, we lose the war of creating a realistic silhouette.
Dubbed bodies are invariably too fat and fuzzy.
Nymph, larva, and pupa imitations are presented to the trout at their eye level. A material that you can dye to any color imaginable. I've tried to improve Gary LaFontaine's Caddis Pupa patterns dozens of times, and I cannot. They are as near to perfect as artificials can be without impaling naturals on bare hooks. Follow his tying instructions and material requirements very carefully and you'll have Caddis Pupae for all your needs.
