If it was on a nymph hook I would call it a 3D nymph, minus the flash back. I personally have been on a Dry Fly tying terror.. Tying BWO emergers,dry's and suspended. The LT is on fuego with the right dry fly pattern!!!

Live2Fish: those flies (and especially that Goddard's caddis!) are really awesome.
Here's what I have been tying: deer hair caddis and humpies, as well as a few nymphs I'll take photos of later. In his book "Trout Flies" Dave Hughs says he prefers the deer hair caddis to the elk hair caddis. The only significant difference I've noticed is the clipping of the hackle, which makes it ride well. Does anyone else have a strong preference? A nice trout rose to the deer hair caddis pictured on the Yuba yesterday, which warms a fly tier's heart more than anything.

Live2Fish: here are some more things I've tied. I'll take a picture of my entire box sometime tomorrow - I have a Spanish test tomorrow that I should be studying for. I'm going to be tying up a storm in the next week or so.
The Hogan's stone should have an epoxy back, but the Loon Hard Head cement I have is crap and keeps fogging up.

Nice flies Wt and Robbie! I was able to look at Cole's and Vince's fly boxes this weekend, and both of guys also have some very nice flies. One fly I am wondering about is the wonder bra. Hey Bernie does that fly come in a C cup? Any chance you can send me your secret recipe? As far as dry caddis flies all of you should check out the X2 caddis. It is the new and improved x caddis. It works really well.
