Remember Agent 99 from the old "Get Smart" TV series? The enemies thought she was lovely and desirable until she revealed the fact that she was truly dangerous! This imitation of an ovipositing caddis presents the same concept. When a trout attempts to take advantage of the perceived vulnerability of this young lady, it promptly and regrettably discovers her true purpose. Note: Vary the colours of the materials to imitate different Caddis hatches in your waters. The purpose of the deer hair is to keep the CDC down and make a base for the parachute-style hackle. Be sure to tie in the hackle first, splay the CDC feathers flat over the body, tie on the deer hair sparsely, then wind the hackle as the final step. The joint of the deer hair will give you a post around which to tie the parachute hackle.
