Echer's Wrecker

Echer's Wrecker

Caddis Nymph

Hook - TMC 2487 or equivalent

Thread - Black

Hackle - Black tipped head feather from a Mearns quail

Bead - Olive glass or metal

Body - Micro cable #25, peacock

I did not have any Mearns quail so I substituted Guinea hen

Micro cables were produced by Doug's Bugs many years ago and are no longer to be found in fly tying world. I just twisted 1 strand of copper, green and red x-small ultra wire into a rope. Looks like peacock herl colors to me.
