After securring hook in vise , tie on thread and return to the hook's eye	With 10 lb monofilement and a heat source form a pair of dumbell shaped eyes and tie onto the top of the hook just behind the eye	on top of the mono eyes tie in 2 strands of brown microfietts
Loosely tie in a small bit of deer hair (of any color) where the abdomen starts. Allow enough of it to protrude into the thorax area where you can cinch it down securely to the hook. NOTE : do not compress the deer hair in the abdomen area . only use light wraps to cover.	Wrap your thread back lightly to the bend of the hook only slightly compressing the deer  hair and then back to the start of the abdomen. Pull the hair forward and again with light  loose wraps hold the hair in this forward position	Cut the hair with enough excess to tie in at the start of the thorax. In the thorax area is the only place we will completely compress the hair and bind it to the hook.
With loose wraps that will not compress the hair , wrap to the bend of the hook and back to the thorax	By using white thread we can now make our caddis any color or varriation needed by applying color with markers. At this time we will coat all exposed thread with flexemnet . This will not only seal the color and protctect the thread it also helps the fly float in two ways. It seals the deer hairs hollow fibers and flexement itself floats.	Tie in three paint brush bristles underneath the hook in the thorax area as shown here. Figure "8" wraps work well for this. End your wraps just behind the hook eye and don't let the legs crowd the hook eye as we still need to tie in the wings.
Trim and bend the legs . This can be done with heated tweezers.	The wing material is my friend David Martin's design. It is made using 1 ply of facial tissue and coatig it with flexemnt and allowing to dry. Once dry it can be cut and colored for many tying applications such as wing,  wings buds and etc.	Once you have shaped and colored a wing that works well for this size hook trace its outline on some card stock and cut out a template for future use.Tie the wing to the hook as shown .Whip finish and color the remaing thread and finish with flexemant. Adding a drop of flexement inside the wings at the underside of the thorax will help them trap air and will also strengthen them.
