Inspired by John Barr’s great Net Builder Caddis pattern, I tie mine using flashier synthetic material. Tied on a curved nymph hook with a tungsten bead, SLF Prism Body, and Ice Dub thorax, it’s a great heavy anchor fly on a Euro Rig or indicator rig. I usually have one of these on my rig during Caddis season.

The ‘Flashy Net Builder Caddis’ was the single best nymph in the box on a weeklong trip to Henry’s Fork and the Madison.
Tan worked so well that I had some monumental days. Thanks, Bob!
