New fly from Europe

I am watching YouTube every night and have quite a few guys as my favorites, one is from Europe and has a great take on caddis larvae, here goes (I'll be posting tying video's as soon as I set up my Youbesize). Use a good heavy wet fly style hook and a larger standard bead, I have been using colored beads but it you only have black that would be ok, thread is "Glo Brite" any color you want, I use flour. green, flour orange, flur, pink and flour, white as an underbody that is quite bulky to this I add 1/4" x 25 yd. sheer organza ribbon that is cut in half and then cut down to about 1-3 mm in length. Make sure that you remove the horizantal fibers and that you only have vertical fibers left, cut a 3-4 mm close to the main ribbon fibe and tie that in, then wind the ribbon up in a spiral fashon to just behind the bead, finish with a small head of dubbing ( I use darker flashy dubbing). Whith your tying thread make a small band of flour. collar and whip finish, after your one tying a few, pick one up and put a drop of water on it and watch how it glows- a fish magnet. Fish the green one in Fishing Creek and the orage/pink one when the Chimera caddis are about to emerge. A fun quick pattern to tie and use.
