Original status: SOLD
Swing by Jason's blog to check out his rendition of the of the Brassie!
Tech Info- Gouache, Watercolor and sepia ink and bamboo pen on 140 lbs. watercolor stock.
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.

Jeff—Nice work with that bamboo pen once again (I'll have to go get one and try it out). And you know that I always enjoy your reflective work, whether on the hook or other materials. Serendipity for next week works for me.
