i never got too in depth with my caddis larva mainly just vinyl rib and peacock and sometimes a bead. I think i might add a few strand of pheasant tail fibers at the end of the hook.
Any thought. I only ask because i will be tying some at lunch.

I just slap a gold bead on, olive dubbing, and gold ribbing. It always worked for me.

Pheasant tail barbules are a bit stiff for that application. A better choice would be a varigated grouse or partridge back feather tied in which essentially makes it a soft hackle
