I ran into a guy a few months ago on the river. We started talking and he ended up giving me a couple of flies he ties himself. they worked really well. After tons of research i'm pretty sure they were a Hemingway caddis. So i ordered a few online and again they worked great. BUT.... they are very fragile and are usually trashed after 4 or 5 fish. can anyone recommend anything similar that might be more durable? its the delicate little wing that just gets shreded.
