David, My name is not Rene, but here goes... Here is a picture I found on the web of the Moser pattern: http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0XgDTAs4eA93FwxerB4KWlpogGUHoTg1gogs80VP qJBzjIIboHweBnx1EDHPEDNLZSIyQkxtk7bb!l17sT9d!*lIVA75RxTEwFBRC3dZ3gTpWK AJjhDJt3A8Gsnco5qNsW3TqPUU8ZXw/Popa%20Caddis.jpg?dc=467537309137946457 8 (yes I know is a long url, but if you get it all on the url line in your browser, it should show) The text with it reads: HOOK: mustad ALL-AROUND, in various sizes or a DAI-RIKI #135 in different sizes. The body colors vary on this one as it is a caddis immitation. The pattern calls for "Moser Dub on the front half of the hook. The wings are Swiss Straw that has been stretched out from side to side and lengthwise, coated with a gloss varnish and trimmed to size and shape. The antennae are individual pheasant center tail feather fibers on each side.. Oliver Edwards also does a Popa. You can find the Henk Verhaar tied version on the VFB site: http://www.virtualflybox.com/patterns/pattern.php?swap_id=14&id=253 Cheers, Hans
