Theo’s Foam Caddis
My good friend, Theo Bakelaar, from Holland, has been tying a great selection of foam flies: beetles, ants, caddises, and on. He sent the tying steps for a really great foam caddis. It is profile fly, and a really good one. Have a look.
Tie in a small dot of foam to represent the egg sack.

Clip the hackle off the top of the hook.
