As fly tyers, we often try to imitate the fish's natural food items - sometimes we tie flies that provoke the fish and other times we tie super-realistic imitations where it can be very difficult to tell the difference between the tied fly and the live individual. We have had the skilled Dutch fly tyer and fly fisherman Jan De Haas in the studio several times, and when we saw a fantastically realistic caddis larva in his fly box, we persuaded him to tie this fantastic variation of Oliver Edwards Caddis Larvae, which imitates the Rhyacophila larva. This fly is actually bound to be fished, but there are probably few who would sacrifice such a work of art at the end of a thin leader, but it is craftsmanship of the highest class.
