Re: [VFB] Hook'em Horns

[Rene Zillmann]

Jack and 'Longhorn' fans, I hope I do not drop a clanger... You are talking about football?..<G> I actually know a pattern which is named 'lonhorn'. It's a caddis nymph pattern. I tied it up for one of the mega caddis swaps, but this one was never published on a webside, Here is the pattern: Hook: TMC 100 or similar Thread: Black Abdomen: amber dubbing Wingcase: Pheasont barbs, dark Thorax: Brown dubbing Hackle: Brown hen, short Feeler: pheasont tail barbs, long, 2x of body These feelers are the 'horns' in the pattern. It is an official pattern from a book.
