ALL-G CADDIS LARVA
(a.k.a. GOOD TIMES CADDIS LARVA)

All-G Caddis Larva

Hook: Daiichi 1870, #12
Weight: Lead wire (optional)
Thread: Gudebrod G: Bright Green for abdomen and Black for thorax and head.
Case: Gudebrod G: Gray, Black, Dk Yellow, Rusty Brown
Abdomen: Gudebrod G: Bright Green
Legs: Gudebrod G: Black
Thorax / Head: Gudebrod G; Black
"Finishing touch": Cement the entire fly

I guess this fly can pass as both a 'thread only' as well as a 'no thread' fly. The entire fly is made of tying thread, but since you don't use a separate thread for tying, every thread wrap you make will be a material wrap.

The case consists of 6 pieces of thread, stitched to a chain of knots, which is then wrapped around the fly. Since Gudebrod doesn't makes this 250 denier G thread anymore, it can be hard to get hold of. But there are several threads which can be used instead.

         A few examples of threads similar in size:
            * UTC 210 (210 denier)
            * UTC 280 (280 denier)
            * UNI 3/0 (266 denier)
            * Danville Flymaster + (210 denier)
