They look good.
I like the legs you have tied in.
What did you use?

All weighted with lead sticky back foil, at least 2 layers. The legs are golden pheasant tail fibres plucked from the quill.
Sorry cant quite remember the Finnish guy that this style is credited to.

Love them, and well tied. Like the second one the best, looks very catchable. Let us know how you get on with them.

p.s. Would a coat of varnish over the body help in keeping it together for longer ??

Isn't this style meant to represent a cased caddis? As a result I would have thought you'd want a greater distinction between the casing and the caddis.

If any of those don't work, there can't be any fish around. Very nice indeed.
