Tier's Comments:     -     Tie in wing case behind eye, extending forward, before winding the thorax. Then pull back over the top and tie in at front of wing. Created by Roman Moser to suggest the emerging caddis. Standard dry fly hook originally suggested, but a caddis hook can be an advantage. Normally fished with drag when trout are taking sedges in late evening.
