Tech Info- Gouache, Watercolor and sepia ink and bamboo pen on 140 lbs. watercolor stock.

Created this one in a similar method as the leadwing. I started by laying down ink lines with my bamboo pen and sepia ink. The bamboo pen is a great tool to use for drawing. You can great great thick and thin lines by adjusting the pressure when drawing. I also break up the lines by using a spray bottle.

This pattern is a great imitation of a caddis larva. I have spent considerable time turning over rocks in the streams and rivers I fish. The most abundant insect that I encounter is the cased caddis. The brassie imitates the unfortunate caddis whose anal proledges cannot overcome the natural or unnatural dislodging forces. The wire wraps get the pattern down in the water column and the peacock hurl is a wonderful representation of the emerging legs from the case. A simple yet effective pattern.

I really like to tie and fish parachute patterns. A loop wing parachute would make a great combination to tie and to fish!

I found this pattern a few months back and really fell for the shape. It is a chrionomid emerger pattern that I though was unique and different.

Just got back from our family vacation this evening. We visited family in the "Tip of the Mitt" in Michigan. More information to follow after I adjust from vacation mode.
