I think I got one of those nymphs in your avatar as an extra. What do you call it, what is it, and what is it tied with? I'm assuming it's some sort of cased caddis imitation, but I have no idea what the actual case is made out of. Does it have a name?

Jeremy, yes I included that for you. It is called a breadcrust. I did a thread about a while back. It is an old pattern. It was one of my Dad's favorite flies. I still use them today. The body is a quill from the tail feather of a ruffed grouse which has been split and soaked.
Dead drift it fish it on the swing.
