The Shwa Creek Caddis is a pattern I've adapted over the past couple seasons starting with a simple caddis Pupa pattern. I've added a lightly contrasting rib of UNI-Yarn to dull down the bright chartreuse and added ostrich herl (or dyed black peacock) over the bronze olive Diamond Dubbing I had been using. The ostrich adds a bit of movement to the fly.
