Romano: Caddis Fly "Sculpture"
I picked up the latest issue of The Drake at a fly shop yesterday and discovered a gentleman named Hubert Duprat that removes caddis larvae from their casings, dumps in precious stones, jewels, and some gold for good measure. He lets them do their thing for a while and viola! Caddis fly sculpture. And we complain about the price of hackle. Be sure to check out the video at the end of the post. - TR

Now if you could just train them to go out and find the precious metal in river bottoms, harvest their casings and send em back out you'd have a good little business!
How cool is that? Awesome post. Give us more like this... suppose the next post is: How to tie a gold and sapphire caddis pupa.
My geology proff has a set of ear rings made by caddis fly larve, but made from collored glass not gold.
a lttle wierd.
Seems they have a sense of personal style.
I'm speechless.
this is a little UMM....well ODD and dumb
