Playing with the foam, so far not that happy with the rigidity of the wings, but it will float. also using the foam as a wrapped body. The leftmost one has no fray wing material rather than foam, but I think it is a bit too transparent.

 

any one else played with this stuff?

I worked with something similar a while back,maybe 4yrs ago and it work well. From what I can tell from the photo the stuff I used had a sort of mesh covering on the topside while the foam you are using doesn't seem to have it.

I tie a pattern called King Caddis but with that white really thin foam that comes with electronics. Looks like what you tied in that picture. Here's a link to the actual pattern http://www.flyanglersonline.com/flytying/fotw2/071706fotw.php

 

This is my go to caddis pattern because it floats awesome and I caught my largest brown trout on the bow with it, gives me confidence in the fly so I fish it often.
