Step 9: Tie off, making sure to keep the bud to one side of the hook shank, and trim the feather shaft.
Step 10: Repeat for the second wing bud.
Step 11: You should now have two wing buds, one on each side with the remaining cdc fibres facing forwards.
Step 12: Stroke the loose cdc fibres backwards to form the legs below the shank and secure with a few wraps of thread.
Step 13: Tie in the two antennae facing backwards. Don’t be too shy with the length here.
Step 14: Dub the last little section of the thorax trying not to trap the cdc fibres flat, tie off and add a drop of Loon water based head cement (lovely penetrating stuff and environmentally friendly to boot!)
Step 15: There you have it, the Caddis CriMerger. Now go play!
