Ed: I tied up a bunch of them one time for a swap. They are called Killer Caddis. I like to use a black bead for the head and a different color for the body. I always use the same color floss to tie on just below the last bead and down the bend a short way. I also like to use peacock herl just behind the black bead head, and then use glass beads the rest of the way.
