Trapped Raffine-Caddis
Another raffine-led caddis pattern. This time the hackle is clipped underneath so the wing and thorax sit in the surface film with the abdomen piercing through. A little floatant through the hckle and smeared lightly on the wing will keep it bouyant. With these patterns, if they do sink, let them fish wet - for the fish will happily take a drowned, spent or diving caddis

Dave - While your playing with raffine, you may be interested in this simple winging technique. It probably isn't needed for fishing flies, but if your giving a tying demonsration it is a nice technique.
