I like your bedazzler. Is that the pattern you posted when you had a diatribe one LaRiSA's thread?
If so, I tied a few and will post them when I get home.

This is a classic RB Caddis; not sure what the zero means either jayl !!!
At that time Bergman worked at...tackle store. Walter Grotz tied a caddis worm imitation by wrapping white chenile on the shank of a #12 hook and added a few turns of herl at the head. Ray promised to try these, and eventually they became in the RB Caddis in Ray's great book, Trout."
...my most successful flies was a nymph tied with gray angora woolon a #10 hook with a couple turns of peacock herl at the head and a touch at the tail.

RB Caddis, original pattern. Remember there are some of us who learned these flies back when they were popular. And some of us (old guys) learned to tie from the old masters.
