A nice simple fly I will add that to my caddis collection.

Thanks for the comment James!
It's the most used caddis pupa in Iceland and has been for over 40 years. Really successful pattern.

Thanks for that pattern. I will Tell you how it worked in arctic swedisch mountains on end of july

Great patern and great fly typ catch, will be swinging these on big Laxa in a couple of weeks. Thanks for sharing the pattern

Thanks for the comment James!
I'd suggest to have those flies also weighted, in your arsenal when going there. Then of course Pheasant Tail and those classics that always work.

[@keithgillogly7675]

I too will add this fly to my arsenal

Thanks for the comment Keith!
Yes, this is an awesome pattern. Totally worth it to have some in your box.

I love basic, simple flies that work. Is a 4X long hook typical for caddis nymph pattern in Iceland? American & UK pattern range from short shank hooks to 2 or 3x long.

Thanks for the comment Bob,
Ummm I'd say 4X long is rather long. We are usually working with the same numbers as in UK and USA, short or medium shanks to 2 - 3X long.

a clear mono rib it would last longer

I believe that's true. I've never tried to tie this fly with the mono rib.
