Far Out Pharate
Tied by Andrew Somerset
  • Thread: Always
  • Wingpads: Black antron yarn (or CDC)
  • Underbody: Colour can vary to match natural.
  • Head: Mole fur
  • Hackle: Speckled hen
  • Abdomen: Tan antron dubbing, dubbed on green Uni-stretch or floss.
  • Hook: Yup. Mustad 9671 #14 in this case
  • Tying Instructions
    By way of explication, this pattern (the Far-out Pharate) is 75% stolen from Ian Martin and 25% stolen from a friend of mine (that 25% is the abdomen). It's pharate because no true caddis geek could call it a pupa, and far-out because, well, get it soaked and you'll see.
