Here are a couple of patterns that I have been playing around with recently. The Caddis larva is a simple pattern requiring a hook, bead, Wonder Wrap and dubbing, it is simple yet very effective.
The caddis pupa adds some wing buds and hackle fibers for legs, but it too is simple and effective. The adult caddis is simply a peacock caddis.
