Sam Wike's Party on Top Caddis

All the materials below the party are as realistic of an underbody as we could figure out while still keeping the fly profiled well, strong, and buoyant enough for riding through currents and seams.

The Party on Top gets its name because of the only unrealistic material on the fly, elk hair, which is really too bright and coarse to truly imitate a caddis, and it is sitting on top for texture, visibility, and floatability.
