That's a good lookin' bug Davy. I will have to attempt to tie up a few of those.

Ralph Cutter, the originator of the fly, showed a really cool variation on the E/C Caddis.

For backcountry stillwater fishing tie the E/C Caddis with all black sparkle dubbing, black wing but under the wing tie in two short pieces of pearlescent tinsel. He ties it in sizes 18-22 and calls it the E/C Midge. I've tied it in 18s and 20s but haven't dared to tread into the land of 22's......yet!
